L'Histoire générale de la Chine, série de dix volumes illustrés, allie rigueur scientifique et plaisir de la lecture, et constitue à ce jour la plus importante synthèse jamais publiée sur la civilisation chinoise. Des chapitres chronologiques exposent, en début de volume, les grands jalons de l'histoire politique et institutionnelle de la période traitée. Ils sont suivis de sections thématiques (administration, vie quotidienne, religion, littérature, économie, etc.) soigneusement choisies en vue d'une véritable initiation du lecteur. L'ensemble est enrichi de nombreuses illustrations, de cartes en couleur, d'une chronologie, de diverses annexes et d'un index complet. LA REPUBLIQUE POPULAIRE DE CHINE En 1949, bien qu'elle se proclame en rupture radicale vis-à-vis des régimes qui l'ont précédée, la République populaire de Chine reprend à son compte les objectifs formulés par les réformateurs et les révolutionnaires de la première moitié du XXe siècle. La différence tient aux moyens mobilisés pour y parvenir. Dans les faits, la pratique du totalitarisme par Mao Zedong n'entraînera pas les transformations annoncées. Il lègue une société affaiblie et fracturée. Il faut attendre le tournant des années 1980 pour que la promesse de modernisation soit enfin tenue. Les réformes engagent alors le pays dans des mutations plus rapides qu'aucune société humaine n'en a jamais connues. Industrialisation, urbanisation, bureaucratisation, globalisation, migrations ne sont pourtant pas des phénomènes propres à la Chine ; s'ils y prennent une proportion hors du commun, ils s'éclairent par le comparatisme. Pour conduire cette démonstration, l'ouvrage s'appuie sur les acquis les plus récents de la recherche en sciences sociales alors que l'enquête de terrain est désormais possible et les archives pour partie ouvertes. --

With a population of nearly 1.5 billion and the world’s second largest economy, China is a major player in the world today, and yet many in the West know very little about contemporary China. This book provides a clear, authoritative and up-to-date history of China since 1949, drawing on extensive research to describe and explain the key developments and to dispel the many myths and misconceptions surrounding this twenty-first-century superpower. In contrast to many commentators who overstate the novelty of the Communist regime, Guiheux emphasizes instead its complex political heritage, highlighting the many continuities it shares with the reformers and revolutionaries of the early twentieth century. At the same time, the ability of China’s authoritarian regime to transform the economy and society is key to understanding its breakneck trajectory of modernization – an ability that, as Guiheux explains, far outweighed the importance and effectiveness of Mao’s utopian vision. Guiheux also aims to ‘de-exoticize’ China. While not on the path of a Western-style modernity, China has experienced the same phenomena that have characterized every historical process of modernization: industrialization, urbanization, bureaucratization and globalization. This expertly researched history of the People’s Republic of China will be essential reading for all students and scholars of Chinese history and politics, and for anyone interested in contemporary China.With a population of nearly 1.5 billion and the world’s second largest economy, China is a major player in the world today, and yet many in the West know very little about contemporary China.

Asia and the Pacific, an immense region, both new and old, in which two thirds of the world lives. A region of superlatives, exceptions, China, continually facing disasters and risks from its past, India, a continent of its own, Japan, archipelago of the future. It is a region that is attracting global growth and becoming the centre of the world. Who could have predicted that the GDP of Asia and the Pacific would be equal to that of the European Union? And what will tomorrow bring? This compilation gives an overview of Asia's world, bringing together roughly a hundred texts written by researchers and specialists and that have been published on Asia and the Pacific Network's website (CNRS/FMSH) between 2002 and 2011. These works covering the humanities and social science recount the past, tell us of the future and illustrate the complexity of Asia and the Pacific through its flaws, strengths and challenges. They reveal the profound roots and depth of the dynamism of these new powers that could soon take over the future of humanity. Numerous researchers and academics specialising in contemporary Asia and the Pacific are bringing into light many aspects of this great and inevitable shift in the world.
