Summary:

While previous studies on China generally have used 1979 as the watershed year of its transformation from the Mao era to Deng's economic reforms, the year 2009 marking the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is the benchmark for analysis here. Lai-Ha (China Research Centre, U. of Technology, Sydney, Australia) introduces the intimate relationship between China's evolving foreign policy and domestic politics. In a dozen chapters, international scholars examine how Chinese leaders have played the principles of change within continuity and independence and self-reliance within a harmonious world. The book includes a Chinese Pinyan/character-English glossary, and tables and graphs showing recent Chinese deals and economic and health trends.
