Interpreting China’s Development [PDF ebook] 

In Interpreting China’s Development, leading experts on China provide an overview of this growing superpower, highlighting key issues in the country’s political, economic and social development.Underpinned by up-to-date scholarly research yet written in a readable and concise style, this volume of over 40 short chapters offers a very accessible way to understanding the major events and dominant issues that had emerged in China over the last few decades. The essays are grouped under four thematic sections – challenges of governance, growth and structural changes, coping with rising social problems and relations with major powers and neighbours – covering salient topics such as the emerging mode of leadership succession, sustainability of China’s high growth, widening inequalities, environmental crisis and the external impact of China’s rise.Non-specialists in particular, should find this volume useful in keeping up with China’s fast changing developments.
