About this book

China today confronts challenges as daunting as any it has faced since the reform era began at the end of the 1970s. This book examines some of the most important and urgent of these social, political, economic, legal, and international challenges and prospects for addressing them under China's new leadership.

Reviews

"Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang took over as China's top leaders—the so-called "fifth generation"—in 2012 and 2013 at a time when China faced enormous economic political, social, and international challenges. The complexity of these challenges are laid out, skillfully and readably, by the specialists Jacques deLisle and Avery Goldstein have assembled here. This volume is a real tour d'horizon that will be welcomed by all students of China, whether at the undergraduate level or senior specialists. Highly recommended."—Joseph Fewsmith, Boston University

"An excellent collection of essays with a rare combination of sophisticated analysis and extensive empirical detail. China's Challenges is ideal for those who closely follow current debates about the future trajectories of the Chinese economy and polity."—Deborah Davis, Yale University
