Reviews

This ambitious project has involved a group of very prominent scholars who have discussed a whole range of important topics concerning China's developments in recent decades. The book is useful for scholars, government officials as well as college students who are interested in China. -- Shiping Hua, University of Louisville This wide-ranging, provocative, and multi-disciplinary collection of essays by U.S.-based Chinese scholars discusses most of the core problems facing China, a rising power, whose domestic and international trajectory is of vital importance to all concerned observers. Focusing in part on the leaders who have guided China's development over the past six decades, it embraces widely differing perspectives ranging from quite positive to quite critical. Included are some real gems. -- Steven I. Levine, University of Montana
