Reviews

Up-to-date analyses, encyclopedic in scope, by some of the world's leading authorities. Perry Link, University of California Riverside The Routledge Handbook of the Chinese Communist Party is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to understand how China is governed and how its political system has evolved over the past seven decades. Willy Wo-Lap Lam has assembled an unrivalled group of China scholars and produced one of the most illuminating volumes on contemporary China. Minxin Pei, Claremont McKenna College In this edited collection, veteran China specialist Willy Lam has assembled a diverse group of authors who dissect the various elements and instruments in CCP rule. Taken together, they offer a fairly comprehensive examination of the Chinese Communist Party's evolution over time and approaches to different sectors of society. The section on 'how the party works' is particularly valuable. All China watchers will find value in this volume. David Shambaugh, George Washington University As usual, the deeply perceptive Willy Lam provides what is almost certainly the best guide to the current state of China, the problems with which her leaders must grapple most importantly. Arthur Waldron, University of Pennsylvania
