Description: Observers have been predicting the demise of China's Communist state since Mao's death. Yet policymakers have managed the fastest sustained economic expansion in world history. This book shows that many contemporary techniques of governance have their roots in experimental policy generation and implementation dating to the revolution and early PRC.

Brief description: Nara Dillon is a Lecturer in the Departments of Government and East Asian Studies at Harvard University.

Review Quotes: One of the most sophisticated works of this sort.--Jeffrey Wasserstrom "Miller-McCune.com" (6/30/2011 12:00:00 AM)
