Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe book, Modern China and the New World, presents some of the most important issues confronting present-day China with the authors’ insightful views. As an expert on the Asian-Pacific studies, Professor Doyle acknowledges China’s role in shaping the future of the world in topics such as China's foreign policy and its relations to the U.S. and its Asia-Pacific neighbors. As the best constitutional and political scholar in China, Dr. Zhang is well recognized by the free intellectual world and ranked as one of the top 100 public intellectuals by Chinese citizens, despite the fact of being kicked out of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a think-tank for the Central Government of China. Dr. Zhang’s calm, wisdom, and constructive ideas are reflected in his writings on the role of political reforms in Chinese society and an analysis of the 'Tibetan Issues' for China's central government. Altogether, Professors Doyle and Zhang have put together a book that is timely and relevant on matters concerning China and its future role in regional and global affairs. -- Take Bane Wang, Roger Williams University
As a productive author, Dr. Randall Doyle has accomplished so much in the past decade. This volume is his newly co-authored book in which he offers insights on complex issues concerning China. Although some points introduced by him and his co-author may be controversial, general readers can find in this book a useful source to deepen their understanding of the complicated situation inside and outside China, as their attention-grabbing analysis and provocative discourse provide a different perspective. -- Patrick Fuliang Shan, Grand Valley State University
