Recenzje

'A leading scholar on China, Fewsmith examines the important reforms undertaken in China since the 1990s, ranging from inner-party democracy to deliberative democracy/consultative authoritarianism … this book excels in presenting specific instances of reform in China through the author's extensive field trips and research there. Moreover, it answers an important question regarding China's future and will be beneficial for students and scholars of Chinese political reforms, China's democratization, and China studies. Summing up: recommended. Upper-division undergraduate, graduate, and research collections.' X. Li, Choice
