Item description from seller

orig.cloth Minor rubbing. Binding corner bump. VG. 24x16cm, xiv,334 pp. Contents: Contemporary China and its Prerevolutionary; The dengist reforms in historical perspective; China's search for democracy: public authority and popular power in China; A bourgeois alternative? The Shanghai arguments for a Chinese capitalism: the 20s and the 80s; Policy Dynamics Within The People's Republic of China; The contradictions of grassroots participation and undemocratic statism in Maoist China and their fate; The Chinese industrial state in historical perspective: from totalitarianism to corporatism; From revolutional cadres to bureaucratic technocrats; China's Evolving World Role: China's search for national identity; The Tiananmen tragedy: the state-society relationship, choices, and mechanism in historical perspective ["Few countries have had more turbulent politics in the twentieth century than China. Although China's unprecedented stability and prosperity in the 1980s gave hope that such turbulence was at an end, the crises of Tiananmen, culminating in the massacre of June 4, 1989, proved that the turbulence continues. Here, eight distinguished China specialists provide broad-gauged, original essays that attempt to explain the dynamics of contemporary Chinese politics by analyzing the preceding patterns of development. Some of the essays focus on the most basic issues of the historical development of Chinese politics while other essays focus on developments in important policy areas since 1949.." - Publisher's description].
