Description: XI Jinping : Political Career, Governance, and Leadership, 1, Hardcover by Chan, Alfred L., ISBN 0197615228, ISBN-13 9780197615225, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Xi Jinping has proven to be one of the most transformative political leaders of the twenty-first century. After a long career that began at the village level, he became General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and Chinas paramount leader in 2012. Few expected what would come next: a
sweeping restructuring of Chinas political economy and political culture which included anti-corruption campaigns against the Party, and a full recalibration of Chinas relations with the outside world. In Xi Jinping, Alfred L. Chan offers a comprehensive account of his life and times.
Chan discusses Xis early years as a "princeling" and his ordeal during the tumultuous Cultural Revolution. Xis privileged childhood was shattered during his youth when he was mercilessly tormented as a counter-revolutionary, declared a juvenile delinquent and pauper, ultimately becoming an
ordinary peasant. But he clawed his way back up a ladder of success reflecting the changing zeitgeist of the times. He entered politics at age seventeen and accumulated administrative experiences at the county and provincial levels. Chan documents Xis long path upward through the system, revealing
how he built a reputation as an astute leader and a corruption fighter.
The second half of th focuses on the post-2012 period, and Chan pays particular attention to the context surrounding Xis governance once he consolidated power. He makes clear that Xis core guiding principle has been Leninism, which prioritizes disciplined party rule above all else.
Throughout, Chan applies a range of social scientific theories drawn from comparative politics, international relations theory, public policy, and theories of governance to explain policymaking during an era of turbulent changes. Sweeping in scope and addressing virtually every aspect of Xis life,
this study will be essential for anyone seeking to understand not just Xi himself, but the overlapping global and domestic political contexts that shaped his career and style of rule.
