A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This edited volume, "China at 60," explores the interactions between China and the world, over the course of 60 years of Communist Party rule since 1949 and the impact of these interactions on China's domestic development. To understand China's development experience and its transformation, it is necessary to examine the trajectory of development from pre-reform to post-reform periods. While this book may concur with previous findings on the changing development of China under economic reform, more importantly, it demonstrates the areas of continuity of the PRC's existence over the entire six decades. To that end, a dual theme - change-and-continuity and global-local interactions on China's development - is adopted to assess the historical development of China's policies in various issueareas over the past 60 years. The focus is chiefly on the domestic impacts of China's increasing engagement with the world, the global implications of China's reform efforts and growing power, and the long-lasting uniqueness of this rising non-European nation. This book brings together a team of international experts to share their perspectives on global-local interactions within a range of different topics, including foreign policy, domestic politics, macroeconomic policy, the central-local relations, the People's Liberation Army, public health, energy security, finance and banking, foreign trade, and intellectual property rights, as well as changes in the state's policies towards interest groups such as ethnic minorities and women.

Revue de presse :

"This readable volume provides valuable insights into China as a rising power with growing economic, political, and military clout. It will be welcomed by a wide range of scholars interested in developments in contemporary China."-- Edmund S K Fung, Professor of Asian Studies, University of Western Sydney, Australia

"How China's internal arrangements - economic, social, political, cultural and so forth - interact with its ever-advancing global presence is among the most important questions we can deal with today. All too often, we place this master question in the too-hard basket, finding excuses to stay within our comfort zones where we can deal with self-contained fragments of it. The book strives to get back to the master question. Any attempt to do this is to be applauded; this work helps all of us to get out of our comfort zones and broaden the scope of our inquiry."-- Professor David Kelly, China Research Centre, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia

"While the themes of continuity and change and global-local interactions are not new to contemporary Chinese studies, the adaption of these themes to make sense of various contemporary issues will be of interest to various students and scholars. This book provides a sound starting point for further exploration of important and complex issues." --The China Journal
