Dictatorship by Degrees
«
Drawing on classic models of totalitarianism and fieldwork, Steven P. Feldman re-interprets political trends under Xi Jinping, arguing that Xi has propelled China toward a return to the radicalism of the Cultural Revolution. Professor Feldman’s analysis provides a highly provocative, and no doubt controversial, reading of the evolution of contemporary Chinese politics and society.
