Reviews

Xiao's book is a very accessible, scholarly text geared to readers in a wide range of disciplines. Public administration and legal scholars will find new and eloquent arguments explaining the emergence of legislation on freedom of information in China; for political science scholars, the book's in-depth portrait and analysis of the ensuing legislative process offer another case illuminating the complexity and intricacies of China's reform; and for media and communication scholars focusing on freedom of the media, the book introduces a closely related but less studied subject: freedom of information. - Fei Shen, City University of Hong Kong; China Information 2012 26: 391
