Southern Tour - Deng Xiaoping And The Fight For China''S Future

by Jonathan Chatwin

~~27,41€~~ 24,67€ 10% OFF

 A History Today Book of the Year 2024 On a freezing January afternoon in 1992, Deng Xiaoping, China''s former paramount leader and now a revered elder statesman, set off on a month long trip around China''s south in defence of the reforms he had set in motion to open up China''s economy and transform the country into the political and economic powerhouse we know today. In this book Jonathan Chatwin pursues the story of Deng''s legendary "Southern Tour" and examines its legacies in the country today. Chatwin recounts the crucial debates and disagreements that characterised Chinese politics in the aftermath of the brutal crackdown of the Tiananmen protests of 1989, and the decisive influence of Deng''s journey in establishing an economic blueprint for the 1990s and beyond. He explores a nation which has been transformed by large-scale urbanisation - exemplified by the mega-cities of southern China that Deng visited and endorsed - but whose leadership is now conflicted by the pursuit of wealth that Deng legitimized. Drawing on historical and contemporary eyewitness accounts, and the author''s own 3000 mile journey in Deng''s footsteps, The Southern Tour brings to life the story of China''s transformation into a 21st-century superpower.

Return Of The Junta - Why Myanmar’S Military Must Go Back To The Barracks

by Oliver Slow

27,41€ + 10% CARD

 On the first day of February 2021, Myanmar''s military grabbed power in a coup d''etat, ending a decade of reforms that were supposed to break the shackles of military rule in Myanmar. Protests across the country were met with a brutal crackdown that shocked the world but were a familiar response from an institution that has ruled the country with violence and terror for decades. Return of the Junta is a detailed account of the ways that Myanmar''s military - the Tamatdaw - has maintained control over its people despite a decade of supposed reform. In this detailed account, drawing on first-hand accounts from activists, jouralists and politicians, Oliver Slow explores the measures the military has used to keep hold of power and the motivations of those now rising up against its rule. The book asks the question: what needs to be done to remove the military from power in Myanmar once and for all?
