Contemporary China –

An Introduction

“This is a very clear, well written and highly readable book that will be used

widely in undergraduate courses. It is also up-to-date including much content on

developments in the past couple of years. Michael Dillon has done an admirable

job. This will be a comprehensive text for survey courses.”

–Rachel Murphy, University of Oxford

This book presents a concise introduction to contemporary China. It is intended as

a ﬁ rst book for those coming new to the subject, providing the essential information

that most people need to know, without going into excessive detail. Its coverage

includes the economy, society, politics and international relations; China’s history,

especially the twentieth century; and Taiwan and Hong Kong as well as the

People’s Republic of China.

The book provides an up-to-date and clear guide to the often bewildering

changes which have taken place in China in the late twentieth and early twenty-

ﬁ rst centuries. It draws on the enormous body of empirical and theoretical research

that is being carried out by economists, political scientists and sociologists on

contemporary China, but is itself written in non-technical and accessible language.

It does not assume any previous knowledge of China and explanations of Chinese

terms are provided throughout the book. It includes a map, a chronology, a glossary

of Chinese terms, biographical notes on key ﬁ gures, and a guide to further reading.

Michael Dillon is a frequent commentator on Chinese affairs for the BBC and

other broadcasters. He was formerly Director of the Centre for Contemporary

Chinese Studies at the University of Durham, UK, where he taught Chinese

and Chinese history. His previous publications include China: A Historical and

Cultural Dictionary , China’s Muslim Hui Community: Migration, Settlement and

Sects and Xinjiang: China’s Muslim Far Northwest (all published by Routledge

and RoutledgeCurzon).
