CHINA IN TRANSITION: A Special issue of Social Research
Volume 72 No. 1 (Spring 2006)

Guest Co-editor: Jean-Philippe Beja
Journal editor: Arien Mack

Recent years have seen China's emergence and growth as a superpower on
the world stage - often described as the "awakening of the dragon."
Although China is very much an open country,
the precise nature of its "awakening" remains, to most of the West, very
much a mystery.

This special issue of Social Research addresses multiple facets of the
changes currently under way in China. Some of our authors are
intellectuals who have been deeply involved in the various debates
which have shaped the fledgling cultural scene in the last few years.
Some are Western researchers who have spent long years studying the
country and living there and have a
good grasp of its language and culture. Some are Chinese who live
abroad. All of them are well known scholars in their fields.
Together, they examine some of the key challenges the country is
facing in this period of rapid development and transition.
