CHINESE POLITICS - NELE NOESSELT KARTONIERT (TB)

China has undergone a rapid rise to global power status. All too often  however  China's role
in global politics is still analysed according to outdated categories and stereotypical
classifications. This textbook introduces the reader to the foundations of Chinese state
philosophy and political history  as well as to the one-party state's basic institutional
patterns and its recent transformations. It conducts a theory-based analysis of selected policy
areas  while also discussing theories and concepts developed by leading Chinese political
scientists. Beyond the Chinese one-party state  the textbook also reflects on the basic
patterns of China's two special administrative regions Hong Kong and Macao  and discusses the
special case of Taiwan. Testimonial Much more than an ordinary textbook  Noesselt presents a
comprehensive and dynamic analysis of Chinese political thinking  organization  and course of
development. This is an original work of great insight  well grounded in China's own discourse
about politics. It well rewards a close reading. Brantly Womack (Professor of Foreign Affairs 
University of Virginia) Noesselt shows how understanding China's international behaviour and
global aspirations requires both area-studies type in-depth knowledge of Chinese domestic
politics and also international relations disciplinary expertise. Fortunately for the reader 
she has both in abundance. Shaun Breslin (Professor of Politics and International Studies 
University of Warwick)
