Dictionary of the Politics of the People's

As China's political and economic development comes under closer scrutiny, thisDictionarywill prove invaluable to anyone with an interest in contemporary China. As well as proving valuable to students and academics of political science, economics, history and Asian studies, it will be of use to government officials, business people and media professionals with current or future connections in the region.
