Review

"China Since Tiananmen is an excellent book, a must-read for anyone attempting to understand the last decade's events in China and that nation's future trajectory. Focusing on political maneuvering among the top leadership and debates and discussions among politically oriented intellectuals, Fewsmith goes right to the heart of the matter and provides a coherent, credible narrative of deep political conflict." Andrew J. Nathan, Columbia University, co-editor of The Tiananmen Papers

Product Description

In a new edition of his path-breaking analysis of political and social change in China since the crackdown in Tiananmen Square in 1989, Joseph Fewsmith traces developments since 2001. These include the continuing reforms during the final years of Jiang Zemin's premiership and Hu Jintao's succession in 2002. Here the author also considers social trends and how Chinese citizens are starting to have a significant influence on government policies. As Fewsmith - a highly regarded political scientist and a seasoned China-watcher -observes, China is a very different place today than it was eighteen years ago. In the interim, it has emerged from isolation to become one of the most significant players on the world stage. This book - more than any other - explains the forces that have shaped China since Tiananmen.
