Description: This volume deepens analysis of China's transition from communism and places the Chinese case in comparative and theoretical perspective. Six chapters probe the transition process in the three main sectors of the Chinese party-state - military and police, taxation and investment, and social and cultural policies. Introductory and concluding sections address post-Leninist transitions more generally and compare China's experiences to those of Taiwan, Mongolia, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 295-330) and index.
