Professor Joseph Fewsmith (Boston University)
Topic
Over the last half year or so, there have been rumours of new tensions among the political elite. How seriously should we take these? What might be fuelling these rumours and what might the consequences be? How does the 5th Plenum and the release of a new Five-Year Plan shed light on these questions?
Speaker
Joseph Fewsmith is Professor of International Relations and Political Science at Boston University. He is the author of China Since Tiananmen and The Logic and Limits of Political Reform in China . His new book, Rethinking Chinese Politics will be published next year.
