Text of Note
A sequel to the author's trailblazer (""China's Elite Politics: Political Transition and Power Balancing"", published by World Scientific in 2007), this book tackles the issue of governance in China. It provides up-to-date information on China's political elites and evaluates their ability to deal with crises through four case studies: the Tibet issue, the Taiwan issue, the Sichuan Earthquake, and the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
