Summary China, with its geographical, historical, cultural, and political distance from the West, long has been a black box upon which we readily paste labels--communist, non-Western, developing country--but whose internal logic remains a mystery to us. Arguing that it would be a major step forward in our genuine knowledge of China if we understood its internal dynamic, this innovative book considers China from a historical perspective to chart its current dynamic and future direction. Renowned historians, economists, and political scientists explore the internal dynamic of China's rise since traditio.
