Product Description

Synopsis

Since the 1980s, change in China has been breathtaking. Reform has affected every facet of life and has left no policy and institution untouched. Now available in a substantially revised second edition covering the changes of the Sixteenth Party Congress and Tenth National People's Congress and other recent developments, this text by a leading academic authority, who has also lived and worked in China, provides a thorough introduction to all aspects of politics and governance in post Mao China.

First Sentence
Some years ago, I was in a jeep driving down a mountain road in rural Sichuan and was held up by a long queue of traffic meandering down the hull to a new bridge that was being dedicated. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what the title says..., 5 Oct 2009
By J. Thibaut (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book provides a comprehensive insight into the entire political structure of China, including the history of its creation. Perhaps a bit too detailed for those looking for a straightforward explanation, but excellent for anyone requiring a deeper understanding. Just bear in mind when reading that China is changing rapidly and that certain parts may already require different explanations.

4.0 out of 5 stars concise and quite up to date, 3 Jun 2009
I like the writing style as quite concise, although clearly some topics are not covered in massive detail. However this gives you the background to all main areas to do with China's political and to some degree economic reform, and will signpost where you would need to look for further reading.
