The third edition of Critical Issues in Contemporary China offers an in-depth and up-to-date analysis of Xi Jinping’s strategies to address critical domestic and international challenges facing China in a ‘new era’.

This book joins the current debates about Xi Jinping’s ‘new era’, reflecting upon the continuity and change in the CCP’s domestic and foreign policies under Xi’s leadership and Xi’s capacity to realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation. The international team of contributors evaluate such pressing issues as:

- Xi’s re-centralization of power and securitization of domestic politics

- the Chinese economic model

- state-civil society relations

- Xi’s gender policy and return to the traditional family values

- Beijing’s responses to unrest in Xinjiang and Hong Kong

- Xi’s evolving unification strategies towards Taiwan

- the Belt and Road Initiative, and

- the deterioration of US-China relations.

Providing readers with rich empirical assessment of Xi’s responses to the political, economic, social and international challenges facing contemporary China, the third edition of Critical Issues will be an essential resource for students of Chinese politics, economy, society and foreign relations.
