China: The Next Decades assesses the developmental record of communist government in China since 1949 and the political background of socio-economic change. Particular attention is paid to the period of economic liberalization of the 1980s and the events surrounding the Tiannanmen Square massacre, which resulted in policy revisions. This book reviews developments in China and assesses its probable socio-economic and political future in the next two decades, taking into account the special problems posed by Hong Kong and Taiwan. China: The Next Decades offers an up-to-date and important review of the development problems and policies of communist China. It is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of geography, development studies, economics, sociology, politics, international relations and environmental studies. It will prove an invaluable reference for policy makers in governments and aid agencies.
