Contemporary China: A New Superpower? is a comprehensive textbook that delves into the intricate complexities and diverse aspects of China's society, politics, economics, and international relations. It explores the multifaceted ways in which these dynamics converge to both shape and challenge prevailing perceptions about China. The book is organized thematically into three sections: History, Society and Culture; Politics and Economy; and International Relations. By addressing one of the most frequently asked general questions regarding China, namely whether it will emerge as a new superpower and rival the international power and influence of the United States, this textbook offers valuable insights. Chapters authored by renowned commentators and researchers in the field cover a wide range of topics, providing in-depth analyses of contemporary China's challenges, such as the aftermath of the Tiananmen 1989 events, the country's economic development, environmental and demographic crises, social control and propaganda, and China's role in the region and the world.

This textbook is particularly valuable for undergraduate-level courses in Asian Studies, as well as courses on the history, politics, and international affairs of China and Chinese Studies. It provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the domestic context and international affairs of China, enabling them to gain a deeper appreciation of this rapidly evolving nation.
