Summary
Despite the destabilizing pull of a vast territory and a large multicultural population, the centralized government of the People's Republic of China has held together for decades, resisting efforts at local autonomy. By examining Beijing's strategies for maintaining control even in the reformist post-Mao era, 'Centrifugal Empire' reveals the unique thinking behind China's approach to local governance, its historical roots, and its deflection of divergent interests.
