Full-color maps and distinctive graphics offer accessible, incisive information about this emergent international player. For centuries the world's most populous country, China now has the fastest growing economy, which threatens to surpass the United States. The profound changes occurring in China are illustrated in this atlas, along with some clashes of priorities: between population growth and the one-child family; human rights and political stability; energy needs and the environment.

China in the 1990s

The magnitude and speed of China's transformation in the 1990s is staggering. It is all the more remarkable when the size and diversity of its population and land mass are taken into account. The real test, however, will be the ability to balance change with stability, to meet the dilemmas of its economic strategy, to establish the legitimacy and effectiveness of its political institutions, to transfer power to a new generation of leaders, and to meet the challenges of international trade and politics.China in the 1990s provides a comprehensive survey of a nation in transition. An understanding of this complex process requires a multidisciplinary and multidimensional approach, which the editors have achieved by bringing together experts from Britain, the United States, Europe, Australia, Hong Kong and Denmark who examine China's economic, political, military, cultural and social achievements and difficulties.

Now updated with a chapter-length afterword by the editors on the end of the Deng era and its aftermath, China in the 1990s provides a comprehensive survey of a nation in transition. An understanding of this complex process requires a multidisciplinary and multidimensional approach, which the editors have achieved by bringing together experts from Britain, the United States, Europe, Australia, and Hong Kong who examine China's economic, political, military, cultural and social achievements and problems. The difficulties China still faces are enormous, some of them of its own making: pollution, urban sprawl, the insecurity of food supplies, the risks of political authoritarianism and the perils of liberalisation. Its population is still growing dramatically and is likely to be 1.5 billion by 2015, three times what it was when the P.R.C. was established in 1949. But since embarking on a reform programme which, at the time seemed experimental and hard to reconcile with official ideology, it has gone from being the 'sick man of Asia' to being one of the world's largest and fastest developing economies in what now looks to be a remarkably effective and well-managed transition.
