Opis

China has witnessed great economic, political and societal changes since the reform and opening up in 1978. As China's economic system has been experiencing fundamental changes, China's structure of governance has also been substantially altered in response to globalization. A unique model of political development is underway in China, which differs considerably from those conceived under both traditional socialist and liberal Western models. Globalization and Changes in China's Governance, now available in English translation, tackles these issues of global importance through the analytical prowess of one of China's leading intellectuals. This volume is an essential resource for readers tracking the rapid changes in China's political and economic systems and for those interested in the work of public intellectuals in the PRC.

Recenzje

"...the book is a rich contribution to the study of governance and the changes in civil society that are occurring across China. It is a welcome addition to the literature in this area."
Doug Guthrie, The China Quarterly , Vol. 201, March 2010

" Globalization adds to the ideas presented in [Yu Keping's Democracy is a Good Thing ] by detailing the effects of globalization on China's governance and by providing a critical overview of the current capacities of China's public sectors and of the challenges posed by globalization...Yu Keping is a must-read for anyone interested in the current public consciousness of China about the challenges ahead."
Brantly Womack, University of Virginia, The China Journal , No. 62 (July 2009)
