Reviews

A new interpretation of the Chinese party-state-shows the advantage that derives from a comparative theorist looking at the Chinese system. -- Tony Saich, Harvard University This is an excellent book which asks important questions about China's future. In a lively and persuasive manner, the author vividly analyzes key data in a comparative and theoretical manner. Far and away the best introduction to how the CCP dictatorship works. -- Edward Friedman, University of Wisconsin-Madison There is no lack of scholars and pundits abroad who tell us that dictatorship in China is for the greater good. In a timely and engagingly written book, Stein Ringen systematically demolishes all the components of this claim. -- Frank Dikotter, University of Hong Kong Ringen provides a wealth of information regarding Chinese leadership and policies in a style that doesn't assume prior knowledge, thereby making it accessible to a wide range of readers interested in the region.Library Journal Library Journal Mr. Ringen explodes this favorite propaganda slogan [that Beijing has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty] even further and does so with the fresh eyes he promises. -- Howard W. French Wall Street Journal Essential reading. China Perspectives
