Since the process of opening-up began China has followed a unique path that's combined progressive economic policies with staying true to its socialist principles. Modern history demonstrates that achieving economic growth within the parameters of a one-party socialist state is rarely attainable, yet China has been able to achieve this on a vast scale.

The contributors supply authoritative aimed at academics and students involved in sociology and social science subjects as well as people researching or studying Asian/Chinese studies, plus economists and social science professionals who want to understand China's economic and social characteristics. --

In Conflict, Identity, and State Formation in East Timor 2000-2017 , James Scambary analyses the complex interplay between local and national level conflict and politics in the independence period. Communal conflict, often enacted by a variety of informal groups such as gangs and martial arts groups, has been a constant feature of East Timor’s post-independence landscape. A focus on statebuilding, however, in academic discourse has largely overlooked this conflict, and the informal networks that drive Timorese politics and society. Drawing on over a decade of fieldwork, Scambary documents the range of different cultural and historical dynamics and identities that drive conflict, and by which local conflicts and non-state actors became linked to national conflict, and laid the foundations of a clientelist state.
