Description:
Governing China is an enormous task, China has a relatively new leader, and he is seeking effective answers to both old and new challenges to the Chinese political and social order. What approaches does he seem to be adopting, what are the prospects of progress, and what are the consequences of either success or failure for East Asia, America, and the world? Based on his new book, “Following the Leader,” Professor Lampton will seek to address these and other important issues raised by China’s emergence as a major power.
