Many studies of government in China either simply describe the political institutions or else focus critically on the weaknesses of the system such as corruption or the absence of Western-style democracy Authors of these studies fail to appreciate the surprising ability of China's government to rapidly transform a once impoverished economy & to recover from numerous crises from 1978 to the present This book on the other hand takes a more balanced more positive view This view is based on a study of changes in China's institutions for coping with critical crises in governance since 1978 These changes include better management of leadership succession better crisis management enhanced social welfare the management of society through treating different social groups differently depending on their potential to rival the Party state & a variety of limited intra-party & grassroots democracy This book applies to the Chinese model the term "pragmatic authoritarianism" It explains changes to & the likely future direction of China's governance model It compares current risks in China's governance with threats that terminated dynasties & the republic in China over the past four thousand years & concludes that the regime can be expected to survive a considerable period despite its existing flaws " Few topics in Chinese politics are as significant as the nature state & prospects of the political regime While the topic had been unduly understudied for a long period of time a young generation of scholars has emerged on this subject Among others the book by Hongyi Lai stands out & provides a comprehensive & penetrating analysis on this topic I am confident that his book will make a significant contribution to the study of Chinese politics & may well define the debate on China's political development governance & model for years to come"
