China from the inside out : fitting the People's Republic into the the world

Summary: "Many books claiming to aid our understanding of China are based on the assumption that it is destined to follow the US model of war, hegemony and unilateralism. Ronald Keith shows that this underplays the importance of China's domestic politics, which are essential to shaping the country's role in the world. Highlighting the development of China's own perception of itself, the book examines domestic understandings of the struggle between socialism and capitalism, conflicts over law and human rights, and attempts to create democratic reform."--Back cover.
