This volume is organized around the four major components molding China in the 1990s: the legacies of the imperial system and its demise; the effects of the particular ways in which the Chinese communist party developed; the organizational structure and operational dynamics of the post-1949 Chinese state; and the difficult issues facing contemporary China and the political resources available to the state in addressing them.
