Modernization and Tradition
June Teufel Dreyer
Über dieses Buch
Updated in its eleventh edition, China's Political System continues to engage readers in the pursuit of greater understanding of Chinese politics past and present, providing accessible insight into the important policy problems. Throughout the text, June Teufel Dreyer challenges students to think about the broader problem of governance in China by comprehensively showing how past and present impacts leaders, citizens, ethnic minorities, and policies, leading to incisive considerations on the different futures for China's political system. When instructors teach from this textbook, they benefit from Dreyer's expert analysis of historical context and current trends to show how this transition is challenging China's economic, legal, military, social, and cultural institutions.
