Description
The fully-revised new edition of June Teufel Dreyer's best-selling textbook provides a comprehensive review of the sweeping changes occurring in the world's most populous country and largest remaining communist state set in a broad historical and institutional context. Review comments on previous edition: 'Dreyer has attempted that most difficult of tasks: to produce a student textbook that is at once comprehensive, current and thorough. On all three counts she succeeds with credit. As a general text, this volume has no rival.' - R. Ash, Times Higher Education Supplement
