The book provides analysis of China''s political history; its key leaders and leadership transitions; and its political party, state institutions, and party policies.

It thus explores themes such as China''s transition from a traditional society to a modern society, from a less developed to a rapidly growing economy, from a revolutionary regime to a modernizing state, and from the rule of man to the rule of law. Although the transitions are incomplete and the future still uncertain, this book will help readers understand China as it is-and as it may become.>
