Abstract
This book by a British scholar is a welcome addition to the study of contemporary China. There is no question that Professor Breslin knows the field pretty well. He describes concisely what the issues are in China now and those who are working on those issues both in China and elsewhere. Those readers, who are interested in China but ‘who do not have a detailed knowledge of the Chinese case’ (p. 7), will learn a lot by reading this book. The author escorts the readers, like an experienced tour guide, to the wild and uncharted terrain of China studies. China is huge and is full of rough tracks. To travel such a place, you need an experienced navigator or a good guide map, hopefully both. This book provides both and shows us more. The author describes not only the political landscape of today's China but also the locations of hidden pitfalls and landmines.
