Das politische System Chinas

The Chinese leadership claims that China will be the global superpower of the 21st century. Nevertheless, the workings of the People’s Republic’s political system often remain difficult for outsiders to fathom. This textbook offers a comprehensive and critically analytical introduction to China’s political institutions, actors, and structures of interest and power. It focuses on the relationships between the regime, society and the economy, as well as on formal and informal mechanisms of governance. Furthermore, it contextualises the most recent developments under President Xi Jinping. The volume is aimed at students of political science, social sciences and interdisciplinary Chinese studies.
