Reviews
Hugo de Burgh, University of Westminster / Tsinghua University:
Every polity has its political language, often opaque to those outside the policy world, yet something which analysts need to construe. None more so than China's, where the world's oldest tradition of statecraft has been infused with communist discourse and is being further injected with the jargon of market liberalism. Understanding this lore is essential to interpreting the country's political direction and its leaders' rationalisations. These scholars have given us invaluable multidisciplinary exegeses of many aspects of this fascinating subject.
