Reviews

'In this compelling new book, Joseph Fewsmith questions how much Chinese politics has changed in recent decades. Not as much as most China watchers think, is his answer. His challenge to the conventional wisdom about China is sure to provoke debate for years to come.' Bruce Dickson, George Washington University 'Rethinking Chinese Politics is a refreshing reexamination of many long-held assumptions about Chinese elite politics.  By focusing on the core Leninist institutions of the Chinese system, Fewsmith provides an original and deeply insightful framework illuminating the critical drivers of change in Chinese politics and policy in post-Mao China.' Minxin Pei, Claremont McKenna College
