Trade Review

"This volume is brief, yet comprehensive. Moreover, the authors skilfully place their discussions on contemporary Chinese politics within the historical context, especially the brutal wars and thoughtful revolutions that gave birth to the current regime. Such a historical perspective is a necessity to anyone who wants to understand the many apparent puzzles and paradoxes related to Chinese Politics"

(Yu Tao, Political Studies Review, May 2014)
