Recenzje

"Chinese Politics and Foreign Policy under Xi Jinping brings together an impressive collection of studies, each investigating a topic of crucial importance to the future of the PRC. The book also addresses important questions regarding China's future in a post COVID-19 world, both at home and abroad. As the Xi Jinping era continues to unfold, this timely and informative collection will be a valuable asset to causal readers, students and scholars, and members of the policy community alike."

Jeffrey Becker, Director, Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Program, China & Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Division, Centre for Naval Analysis, USA.

"Important scholarship to understand Xi Jinping's "new era", his agenda to change China and its strategic position in the world, and how his personal leadership has made a difference on China's domestic and international policies."

Mathieu Duchatel, Director of Asia Program, Institut Montaigne, Paris.

"Since taking China's leadership in the fall of 2012, Xi Jinping has significantly revised the Chinese political system and changed the direction of various policy domains. These developments have deviated from the direction set by Deng Xiaoping in the 1980S. What have changed and what are the implications of these changes are issues that have attracted worldwide attention. Dr. Arthur Ding and Dr. Jagannath Panda have assembled an excellent group of analysts to comprehensively examine these issues. This is a timely and comprehensive contribution to these topics. This volume should be an essential reading for those interested in politics and foreign policy of contemporary China."

Chien-wen Kou, Distinguished Professor, Department of Political Science and Graduate Institute of East Asian Studies, and Director of Institute of International Relations, National Chengchi University, Taipei.

"Xi Jinping is increasingly compared to Mao Zedong, and there is every indication he has as much power as the PRC's founding father. Deng Xiaoping, the leader most associated with opening up the PRC, famously said "it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice". As this superb and timely volume shows, the PRC is now ruled by a leader who does care if the cat is black or white. This excellent volume edited by Arthur S. Ding and Jagannath P. Panda rightfully put Xi at the center of the changes - for better and for worse - that are taking place in the PRC and should be required reading for those seeking to understand the country's current trajectory."
