About the Book

Despite continuing criticism of the Chinese authoritarian political system, the range of participants in the decision-making process has widened, with different social actors now playing an increasingly important role in the Chinese policymaking process. Accordingly, the role of think tanks in the policymaking process has generated great interest within and outside China. This book explores the behaviour and influence of China’s think tanks, and explains the reasons and social consequences of the rise of think tanks in China. The book raises several questions on the topic: How did think tanks emerge in China? What are the essential factors that determine think tanks in terms of building their governmental and personal networks? How do think tanks work and build their influence in the Chinese policy process? What happens to Chinese society when think tanks become important policy participants in the policy process? The book goes on to discuss new perspectives on policy processes and elite politics in China, and empirically, with comparative case study and data from nationwide questionnaire surveys, provides a comprehensive picture of think tanks in the current political system of the country.

Review :
"The book provides a thorough analysis of the role of think tanks in China's political system... All in all, the book is highly recommended reading. For those interested in policymaking in China, it offers a useful account of the role played by think tanks, which are gradually developing into important actors. It is also beneficial to those interested in the increasingly contested democratic transition in China." - Zhuoyi Wen, City University of Hong Kong, China Information, 2013. "The Rise of Think Tanks in China is a welcome addition to scholarship" - Michael Keane, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, Pacific Affairs: Volume 87, No. 3 - September 2014.
