The book will interest students of a number of academic disciplines, including Chinese politics, political theory, and political philosophy. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (X. Li, Choice, Vol. 53 (7), March, 2016)

"This book is by far the most comprehensive and thorough study of contemporary Chinese political thought. ... The author has done a marvelous job in presenting the five main intellectual discourses in China. His analysis enhances our understanding of Chinese political development and contributes to the existing literature on Chinese political theory in a significant way. It is a timely publication that will help policymakers, researchers and students of China studies to understand the role of ideas in China's reform."
