Publisher's Synopsis
This book examines the various social contradictions that sit at the heart of China's strategy of maintaining a harmonious socialist society whilst generating vertiginous economic growth.
Written by a senior member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Social Change in Contemporary China and the Theory of Social Contradiction studies the roots and backgrounds of the key theories of contradiction alongside the practical implications on modern-day China.
The deep research-led content is divided into two unique parts. Section one focuses on the contradictions amongst the people, whilst section two focuses on the contradictions between different social groups and social classes. Systematic and wide-ranging, this brand-new book will enable the reader to gain a clear understanding into China's perceptions and ideas of social contradiction theory.
This book will be particularly relevant to academic organisations involved in social sciences and socialism studies, Marxist theory studies, China studies and Asian studies.
Published in association with the prestigious China Social Sciences Press.
