Books by Mark Lupher

This book explores the imperial era, the communist period, and the current situation in China and Russia. It focuses on power restructuring-the ebb and flow of state power, and the centralization and decentralization of political and economic power.

Viewing the tumultuous events of the post-Mao era and the period of perestroika in the light of broader historical patterns, this book aims to further readers' understanding of power-restructuring processes that will continue to unfold in China, Russia and the former Soviet republics.
