This socio-political analysis of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) sheds new light on the link between China’s educational reforms and the ideological control exerted by the Party-state. It explores the dynamics of the ways in which the academic community has carved out and utilised the spaces between the academic and Party leadership and the free will of the individual. By differentiating between various forms of power, the author shows how knowledge produced at CASS is influenced not only as a direct result of top-down decisions-making but also unintentionally through organizational networks that interlock both leaders and led in the institutions they helped shape. Administrative tools and symbolic representation in official ceremony are shown to be indispensable for an adequate understanding of the generation of knowledge at CASS.

This book portrays the subtle, irreversible changes in China and revealing the leadership's major failure to create a set of rational, workable political institutions. It considers the changing role of social classes and their relationship to the state.
This wide-ranging study surveys the present state of international relations as an academic field. It locates and assesses recent developments in the field - in short, what is being done where, by whom, and why. The editors have focused on some central and controversial theoretical issues, and included surveys of principal sub-fields, as well as the various approaches to the study of international relations in different countries. The book provides a comprehensive overview of an important and fast-growing area of academic endeavour, and is essential reading for teachers and students of international politics and the social sciences at large.
Emphasizing reference works published since 1964, these volumes cover books, periodicals, and inclusions (i.e., chapters in edited volumes) on the 1911 Revolution, the Republic of China (1949--), post-1911 Taiwan, post-1911 Hong Kong and Macao, and post-1911 overseas Chinese.
The product of an international academic conference held at Brown U. in November 1987, this volume provides a comprehensive analysis and assessment of the nature, pattern, and trend of Deng Xiaoping's far-reaching developmental reforms in the decade following the Third Plenum of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party in December 1978. The volume, like the conference, is in two parts. In the first, 12 research papers are presented by Western scholars, each followed by comments from two or three participants. In the second part, a senior government official from Beijing outlines the reforms of the post-Mao period, followed by assessments of the policy implications of the reforms by officials from Tokyo, Moscow, and Washington.

Aims to provide a source to those working in the area of contemporary Chinese international relations. This title helps to fill a gap in the study of International Relations which has been dominated by the mainstream Anglo-American school of thought, leaving most indigenous studies largely marginalised, ignored or even neglected.
Based on primary sources and field research, this book is the first of its kind to probe into the Chinese mind set to see how they perceive international relations. It analyses the factors of power, Marxism, culture, and modernisation that shape the Chinese thinking on IR. It explores the Chinese understanding of the state and interstate relations, discusses the merits of an 'IR theory with Chinese characteristics', and assesses the problems and prospects of the development of international studies in China.
