Is there a 'Beijing Consensus' corresponding to the 'Washington
Consensus'—a model of successful development for the rest of the
world? That is the question posed by this book. The writers concur
that today's China has bid farewell to continuous revolution and
class struggle and is now integrated by the Confucian ideal of
disciplined social harmony. Yet as they make clear in their
stimulating, multifaceted analysis, that vision is now challenged
by environmental pollution, socio-economic and ethnic inequity, and
official corruption.
