Understanding Chinese Politics in the 21st Century Democracy, Society, and Strategic Ambitions
di Asia Marcantoni EDUcatt , 2026 https://www.polidemos.it/volume-17-2026/ More than a decade after Xi Jinping’s rise to power, China remains central yet often misunderstood in global debates. Too frequently reduced to polarized narratives or Western conceptual frameworks, its complexity escapes simplified explanations. This volume brings together young scholars from different disciplines to explore the transformations reshaping China’s political, economic, social, legal, and international landscape. In a world increasingly defined by interdependence, the essays collected here reject both fascination with the “Chinese model” and suspicion rooted in Eurocentrism, inviting readers to see China as a dynamic system marked by internal and external tensions, historical adaptation, and global interconnection. Knowing China – its ideas, institutions, and contradictions – is not merely an academic exercise, but a prerequisite for sustaining and cherishing meaningful dialogue and global cooperation.
