- Summary:
- Who will govern China at the dawn of the twenty-first century? What are the social backgrounds and career paths of the new generation of leaders? How do they differ from their predecessors in their responses to perplexing economic and socio-political challenges? Drawing upon a wealth of both quantitative and qualitative data on the so-called "fourth generation" of leaders -- those who were young during the Cultural Revolution -- Cheng Li sheds valuable light on these key questions. He shows that this group is more diversified than previous generations of CCP leaders in formative experiences, political solidarity, ideological conviction, and occupational background.
