Title: Beijing's Ambivalent Reformers
Author: Bruce J. Dickson
"The party has implemented various modest reforms in recent years. Some are designed to allow the party to implement its policy agenda more efficiently. Others aim to make it more responsive to a changing society, or at least to appear so. All are designed to perpetuate the Communist Party's rule, not necessarily to make China more democratic."

Title: The Latin Americanization of China?
Author: George J. Gilboy and Eric Heginbotham
Land reforms aimed at raising rural incomes and promoting urbanization could accelerate the crisis already building in China's cities.

Title: Repression and Revolt in China's Wild West
Author: Joshua Kurlantzick
"A struggle looms within Xinjiang's Uighur population between a no-holds-barred, more violent resistance to Beijing and a more assimilationist, peaceful approach that hopes to win greater political autonomy and economic rights.

Title: The Mao® Industry
Author: Michael Dutton
"One can indeed say that political reform has been visited upon China. It came, however, not in the form of an institutional transformation of the state-based political system . . . but in a far subtler yet profoundly life-transforming manner. No longer are people enthralled by the political, or even intimidated by it."

Title: North Korea's Nuclear Politics
Author: Kongdan Oh and Ralph C. Hassig
"Blessed with enormous military and economic power, Americans expect to find quick and effective solutions to whatever crises they encounter. For North Korea's Kim Jong-il, however, generating one crisis after another may be the best way to stay in power."

Title: Japan: America's New South Korea?
Author: James E. Auer and Robyn Lim
"There are signs that Japan will assume the geostrategic role of the 'new South Korea'-a leverage point against China. Missile defense in particular will transform the us-Japan relationship into a 'normal' alliance, taking it in directions not hitherto contemplated."

Title: Hong Kong: "One Country, Two Systems" in Troubled Waters
Author: Craig N. Canning
