'This collection adds meaning to the study of contemporary China. It is an essential companion to the standard textbooks for the survey courses. I would go even further and seriously consider it as an alternative text.' - Robert Benewick, University of Sussex 'China's widely reported economic success has stimulated a wide-ranging and increasingly contentious debate in both the academic and popular literature!Professor Tubilewicz's volume provides the necessary information for undergraduates to understand the debate and to learn how to ask the right questions. Written in very clear and accessible language, it should provoke lively class discussions over the challenges China faces during the first part of the 21st century.' - Stanley Rosen, University of Southern California 'This is a timely addition to the literature on China's current societal stresses and challenges![The book] is a highly useful, well-crafted survey of the progress and pitfalls of China's peaceful rise. ' - Richard Baum, UCLA 'Critical Issues in Contemporary China provides a timely reminder of the many issues facing China's leaders today.' - John P. Burns, The University of Hong Kong
