What role do Chinese popular associations play in the expansion of civil society and democratization? This book examines a range of associations, from business associations to trade unions, to urban homeowners associations, women's groups against domestic violence, and rural NGOs that develop anti-poverty programs.

An historiographical examination of the political debates of the 1980s over despotism in Chinese history and over Party history. The extent of popular culture and its reinterpretation of history is also assessed, as governmental control of the media has decreased.

This text describes and analyses how politics among the Chinese leadership has operated and evolved from the period of Mao' court up to 2002. Part I explores the politics of Mao and Deng. Part II explores and analyzes the ongoing changes in Chinese politics during Jiang's tenure.

Provides conceptual insights that put the reader in a position to come to grips intellectually with the complex weave of Chinese nationalist sentiment today and in the future.

From the Mao era, through Deng to the present day Jiang period, this work explores the political, social and economic changes and how they all impact on each other. The author aims to show that the Maoist credo had a larger impact on village life than was previously believed today.
