As the most populated nation on earth with the fourth largest economy and the third largest trading country in the world, the study of contemporary China is currently one of the most popular subjects in the academia. The rise of China has fuelled an explosion of studies on its politics, economy and society in the past few decades. This collection, Contemporary China Studies I and II, provides a much needed set of quality references for universities and lecturers to build their curricula and will also become a valuable tool to researchers in undertaking their literature review. Furthermore, this collection bridges some gaps in the state of the field by being the first to bring together the seminal writings in the field. It contains some 200 carefully selected articles and book chapters focusing on the politics, economy and society of China since 1949. It will be grouped under two four-volume sets. Each set is self-contained with the first set dealing with politics and the second with economy and society. Set I: Politics Volume 1: Genesis of the Party-State System and its Changes and Continuity Volume 2: Changing Modes of Governance and Techniques of Political Discipline Volume 3: Local Autonomy and the Struggle over Central Authority Volume 4: Multiculturalism and the Quest for National Unity Set II: Economy and Society Volume 1: Market Reform and Legacies of the Command Economy Volume 2: Government-Business Relations in the Hybrid Market Volume 3: The Demise and Re-emergence of Civil Society Volume 4: Old and New Forms of Social Cleavages Each volume includes a short introduction giving a summary of the existing scholarship on the historical legacies, development trajectory and current debates concerning the particular theme. Moreover, each four-volume set has a general introduction which pulls together the various themes to offer a general overview of the nature and development of the Chinese political order and its economy and society. They aim to show how each theme fits into one another, and how developments in the political, economic and social realms become mutually constitutive or contradictory in the formation of a unique order.
