Synopsis

The essays in this volume take the 1990s after the 1989 Tiananmen tragedy as its baseline. They consist of ways of looking at China's developmental path during the two decades before and after the turn of the 21st century. This book traces the choices that three generations of Chinese leaders from Deng Xiaoping to Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, have made to rebuild China and consolidate the reforms introduced in the late 1970s. It also examines how Chinese leaders are trying to restore China's position in the region; how they are re-connecting with the country's history and re-defining the kind of nation it wants, and also how they hope to establish what they consider to be China's rightful place in the international order.

Revue de presse

The book is an excellent source for those who wish to develop greater in-depth understanding of China's past as an explanation of the present and as a clue to the future. Written in superb prose and interspersed with fascinating facts, it is moreover able to illuminate multiple perspectives not only from China and the Chinese, but from other important regional players that interact with them. --Asian Politics & Policy
