In this timely book, a group of leading scholars provides a
comprehensive assessment of China's polity, economy, and society.
Taking the thirtieth anniversary of Beijing's adoption of reform and
opening as an occasion to reflect on the course of development over
the past three decades, the contributors consider where the country
may be going in the future. Just as China has had enormous success in
developing its economy, it continues to face equally enormous
challenges across a wide variety of issues, including inequality,
social protest, energy, the environment, and a resurgence of religion.
As a polity, China has tried to build a modern legal system while
balancing center-local relations, sustaining a viable ideological
framework, and maintaining stable politics at the elite level. At the
same time, the current global economic crisis poses a major obstacle
to China's model of development. Authoritative, accessible, and
current, this book will be an invaluable resource for all readers
interested in the fate of a rising global power. Contributions by:
Edward A. Cunningham, Joseph Fewsmith, Sebastian Heilmann, Jamie
Horsley, Joanna Lewis, Yawei Liu, Barry Naughton, Elizabeth J. Perry,
Ren Jiantao, Carl Riskin, Sun Yanfei, Robert Weller, Min Ye, and
Yongnian Zheng.
