An excellent set of essays that provides original research findings
relating to the issue of governance in contemporary China.
*Anthony Saich, Harvard University*
It is a welcome contribution to the limited literature on an
important, if neglected, aspect of China's modernization.
*International Affairs*
Meticulously researched and minutely detailed volume. Highly
recommended.
*CHOICE*
The book's insights owe much to the conceptual clarity given to it
by its editor, as well as to concise chapters nonetheless rich in
new empirical findings....The book is a must read for broader
groups of readers: journalists and students desiring to learn more
about contemporary trends in Chinese politics and society;
decision-makers and professionals dealing with China on a regular
basis; and citizens around the world interesting in knowing how
democritization can proceed at the margins of authoritarianism.
*China Information*
The book is a welcome contribution to the existing literature on
contemporary China. It will be a useful textbook for teachers
examining Chinese society and politics, and the readable style and
informative content of most of the essays will also attract a
readership among public administrators, NGOs and policy makers.
