Recenzje

"The strengths of the book lie in its coverage of a wide range of discourses, interdisciplinary outlook, and the contextualization of Chinese illiberalism. Its critique of deep-seated liberal presumptions of mainstream China studies also deserves further debate." (Shih-Diing Liu, China Information, Vol. 34 (1), 2020)
"Vukovich's book is an intellectually-challenging and therefore interesting read. The book makes an important contribution that puts the Chinese state in a broader theoretical context of (neo-) liberalism and its apparent decline. Scholars interested in critical theory as well as those observing the Chinese political system and especially those willing to challenge the Western narrative of China are strongly recommended to study this work." (Felix Wiebrecht, Democratization, Vol. 2016 (2), 2019)
