Power Of Ideas, The: The Rising Influence Of Thinkers And Think Tanks In China

4.9/5 (33767 ratings)

Description:China's momentous socioeconomic transformation is not taking place in an intellectual vacuum: Chinese scholars and public intellectuals are actively engaged in fervent discussions about the country's domestic and foreign policies, demographic constraints, and ever-growing integration into the world community. This book focuses on China's major think tanks where policies are initiated, and on a few prominent thinkers who influence the way in which elites and the general public understand and deal with the various issues confronting the country.The book examines a number of factors contributing to the rapid rise of Chinese think tanks in the reform era. These include the leadership's call for "scientific decision-making," the need for specialized expertise in economics and finance as China becomes an economic powerhouse, the demand for opinion leaders in the wake of a telecommunication revolution driven by social media, the accumulation of human and financial capital, and the increasing utility of the "revolving door" nature of think tanks.It has been widely noted that think tanks and policy advisors have played an important role in influencing the strategic thinking of the top leadership, including the formation of ideas such as the "Three Represents," "China's peaceful rise," "One Belt, One Road," and the founding of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). In 2014, President Xi Jinping made think tank development a national strategy, and he claimed that "building a new type of think tank with Chinese characteristics is an important and pressing mission."Though the media outside China has often reported on this important development, it has all but escaped rigorous scholarly scrutiny. This book will categorize Chinese think tanks by their various forms, such as government agencies, university-based think tanks, private think tanks, business research centers or consultancies, and civil society groups. It will not only analyze the problems and challenges in China's think tank development, but also reveal the power of ideas.Contents: Introduction: The Power of Ideas and Ideas of Power: Chinese Think Tanks in Search of Prominence Prominent Chinese Thinkers: Hu Angang (Demographer and Economist): Championing Chinese Optimism and ExceptionalismYu Keping (Political Scientist): Making Democracy Safe for ChinaHe Weifang (Legal Scholar): Fighting for a Constitutional China through Public Enlightenment and Legal ProfessionalismHe Huaihong (Philosopher and Ethicist): Bringing Ethics Back into Chinese Discourse The Dynamics and Constraints of Chinese Think Tank Development: China's New Think Tanks: Where Officials, Entrepreneurs, and Scholars InteractAn Imperative for China's New Think Tanks: Seeking Uniqueness and DiversityThe Prospects for China's Private Think TanksDissemination of Ideas and Credibility of Think Tank ResearchThe Role of Think Tanks in Reconstructing Values in Present-Day ChinaThe Role of Think Tanks in Promoting Mutual Understanding and Preventing Misjudgment in Sino–US RelationsChinese Think Tanks Go Global Towards a More Pluralistic Decision-Making Process: Interest Group Politics in China: A Paradox of Hope and FearShaping China's Foreign Policy: The Role of Foreign-Educated Returnees Conclusion: Top-Level Design of Reform and China's Political Future: Will China's "Top-Level Design of Reform" Prevent a "Bottom-Up Revolution"?Xi Jinping's Reform Agenda: Promises and RisksReadership: Students, researchers, and academics who are interested in the importWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
