Description and Table of Contents
Description
This highly respected text demonstrates how the government of the world's most populous nation has been significantly affected by attempts to harmonize the unique nature of its indigenous culture with a variety of influences and ideas from outside.
China faces many challenges to its traditional economic, legal, social, and cultural structures. This text provides students with a clear sense of how this transition is taking place, what its effects on the current leaders and policies are, and how the system might evolve in the future.
