ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
This book portrays how China’s state transformation is
taking place or moving without much notice through trial and error, which seems
awfully caution, balanced and systematic. Specifically, it addressed the
discourse of State transformation in China, contextualizing its progress and
timely transformation in the military, civil-military, political and
socio-economic terms. Scholars have tried to examine this discourse time and
again. But again they have neglected to do that through “institutional” parameters.
That means; literature is still lacking in identifying the changes in China’s
systematic regime politics, particularly in military, civil-military ties, and
economic terms at one place. Not many in India have tried to judge or identify
China’s progress through its systemic transformation in institutional terms.
Therefore, this study claims to be the opening of its kind from this region.
The bearings of this study are universal. It further intends to narrate how
China’s systemic internal changes would manifest its external bearings and
contribute to the discourse of the “rise of China”. China’s domestic
conditions, it needs to be noted emphatically, contribute greatly to its
external posture. This book has tried to highlight some of the emerging issues
manifested in China’s overall State transformation. It has addressed the
underlying factors of this change through military modernization,
Party-military dynamics, regime politics, the regime’s process of taking
decisions, and the complexity of the Chinese economic growth. How China is
keeping a balance on many problematic fronts to pace its progress in a complex
domestic order is in itself an interesting topic for study.
