Lam assesses the roles being played by the ˇ§new classesˇ¨ of private businessmen, professionals, and intellectuals and how ˇ§new ideasˇ¨ from globalization to nationalism might foster or deter political liberalization and sustainable economic development. Diplomatic issues, notably Chinaˇ¦s often difficult and unstable relations with the United States, Japan, and other Asian countries, are factored into the equation.
With its timely analysis of long-range trends and the Hu leadershipˇ¦s policy initiatives, Lamˇ¦s book provides a firm basis from which to project the future development of the worldˇ¦s most populous and fastest-developing country.
