Beschreibung

<p>Drawing on over two decades of research in and on China and on extensive reviews of current scholarship, <i>China: The Basics</i> introduces readers to the key aspects of Chinese society, culture, and politics.</p><p>The book provides an empirically rich overview of China's global position and the challenges posed by urbanisation, uneven economic development, and environmental governance. With detailed vignettes giving a flavour of everyday life experiences, <i>China: The Basics</i> challenges simplistic approaches to China as a monolithic political unit by illustrating the nuances of citizens' agency in different realms, including work-based and gender-based inequality, social media activism, environmental protection, illness, and healthcare. It encourages readers to reflect on the importance of scale across the themes discussed. Cross-cutting referencing between chapters enables readers to identify cross-cutting themes and to consult chapters in their preferred order.</p><p><i>China: The Basics </i>nurtures a critical and reflexive approach and provides readers with a conceptual toolkit for engaging with new developments constructively. It will be essential reading for students, lecturers, and anyone curious about contemporary China.</p>
