China After Socialism: In the Footsteps of Eastern Europe or East Asia?: In the Footsteps of Eastern Europe or East Asia?

by Barrett L. McCormick, Jonathan Unger

Nine specialists from four continents address the following is China moving toward the type of developmental state and sophisticated economic powerhouse associated with the East Asian miracle? does China's Leninist political system and the heritage of a state-run-heavy-industrial sector present too great a burden for successful transformation? and what is the likelihood that China's party-state will ultimately collapse in a fashion similar to the Leninist governments of Europe? The findings and analyses should prove interesting to followers of China, East Asia as a whole, and the European postcommunist transition.
