Contemporary China: Contemporary States and Societies

Autor Professor Kerry Brown
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2019
The third edition of this concise core textbook offers students a comprehensive introduction to the politics, economy, culture and society of modern China, while grounding all of these areas in the context of China's recent history in the 19th and 20th centuries. Fully up to date, this accessible text examines the key developments that are taking place in China and that are shaping its place in the world today, from relations with Trump's United States and post-Brexit Britain, to the use of the internet to crack down on dissent and the establishment of 'Xi Jinping thought' at the 19th Party Congress. Authored by a highly-regarded expert on the topic, this is the essential guide to a country that is no longer just emerging but one which has, in many respects, already emerged as one of the leading powers of the 21st century.The book is an ideal introductory text for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on China studies and contemporary China, regardless of whether students approach the topic from a political, historical, sociological, cultural or geographical viewpoint. It can also be used on modules focussing more specifically on Chinese politics, Chinese history or Chinese society.New to this Edition:- Fully revised and updated throughout, including discussions of Chinese-US relations in the era of Trump, the 2017 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and descriptions of the newest high-ranking figures in Chinese politics- New boxed features highlighting important issues and organisations, including the status of women in China, the telecoms company Huawei, and the on-going conflict over the South and East China Sea- References to the most recent research in the field, along with new recommendations for further reading for each chapter

Recenzii

Kerry Brown provides a wonderful guide to understanding modern China, presenting a remarkably comprehensive and lucid examination of the institutions and socio-economic forces that have shaped and are shaping the country today. Anyone wanting to understand China and its place in the world will do well with Brown as mentor.
A concise, approachable, critical but fair introduction to the most important topics and questions relating to an important and rising power.
A lucid and sophisticated introductory book on modern China written by a leading specialist in this field.
An excellent introductory text for any student interested in the rapidly-emerging 'superpower' that is today's China, presented in a simple but effective narrative that highlights the country's remarkable journey from a post-war pariah to a leading global player in the 21st century.
Contemporary China provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of China that should inform any teaching on China. It offers essential information on how China is governed which is necessary background information to understand how China is embedding and positioning itself in the world economy and global politics. Despite the breadth and depth of the book, it remains an accessible resource.
A comprehensive and timely introduction. A superb resource for students and scholars who are interested in the making of contemporary China.
The book introduces all the complexity and contradictions of contemporary China and serves as an excellent introduction. It is up-to-date, comprehensive, concise, and highly readable. Providing an overview of China's history, politics, economy, society, and culture the book is extremely well suited to those unfamiliar with the country. It also, usefully, serves as a guide for subsequent reading and study of the areas covered.
Kerry Brown's account of Contemporary China is an outstanding, wide-ranging introduction to a country that is of crucial importance to the West. Ranging between history, institutional structures, and ideology, Brown shows clearly the elements that make up the China of today. A lucid and powerful read for all those who want to understand the next superpower.
Both empathetic and critical, detailed and clear, Kerry Brown's newly revised Contemporary China makes this complex and fascinating country accessible to those encountering it for the first time. It's a great introductory text for undergraduate students - and it is also packed full of facts, data and analyses that will be of use to more advanced researchers.
