Synopsis
One of America's preeminent authorities on modern China explores the central issues facing the worlds most populous country. On democracy, human rights, and the move to integrate China into the international economy; on Mao Zedong's regime and the reform since his death; and on the Taiwan experiment and Hong Kong's reintegration with China, Nathan offers an accessible introduction to the intricate web of contemporary Chinese politics and China's changing place in the global system.
New York Review of Books
[A] deeply perceptive and eloquent collection of essays. . . . What distinguishes Nathan´s approach is that he takes up the political question of how to negotiate with Beijing about human rights.
