China since Tiananmen : The Politics of Transition PDF
by Joseph Fewsmith
Description
China Since Tiananmen is the first book to look comprehensively at the intellectual and political trends in the decade since the Tiananmen Incident (1989) to assess the ways in which China has changed.
Fewsmith looks on the one hand at the intellectual critique of the enlightenment tradition, which had previously held a sacrosanct position in the thinking of liberal intellectuals since the May Fourth Movement of 1919, to explain the rise of neo-conservatism and nationalism over the past decade.
On the other hand, he examines the maneuverings of elite political actors to understand the constraints they operate under and how the conduct of elite politics has changed since Tiananmen.
Together, these two approaches give a more comprehensive and realistic assessment of the forces that drive China today.
These trends are of great importance for anyone trying to understand Sino-US relations.
