Governing China: From Revolution to Reform, the leading text for courses on
Chinese politics has been thoroughly revised and updated.
The new Second Edition includes discussions of:
- The consumer revolution that has brought China’s
major urban areas to the forefront of the developed world
and created a new middle class
- An expanding private sector that has become the major
generator of new employment in the overall economy as the
state sector has shed jobs
- The increase in foreign direct investment which has set
China on track to becoming the manufacturing center of the
world
- An enormous population migration from rural to urban
areas and from the interior to the coast that is becoming
one of the most massive movements of people in human history,
and its significant impact on the environment
- The unprecedented integration into the international economic
system as China has joined virtually every major multilateral
regime
- The reactions of the top and the bottom of the political
system to these recent developments and the continuing struggles
between the government’s large bureaucratic structures
and sporadic popular political movements.
