The chapters in this book are based on papers initially presented at the seventh annual conference of the Center for the Study of Contemporary China at the University of Pennsylvania. We are grateful to distinguished discussants at the conference whose comments and suggestions provided valuable guidance as the authors prepared their chapters. The discussants include Fred Dickinson, Daniel Drezner, Sheena Greitens, Todd Hall, Ryan Hass, Michael Horowitz, David Kang, Michael Mastanduno, Oriana Mastro, Caitlin Talmadge, and Graham Webster.

We thank all of the conference participants for their helpful advice. We also thank the anonymous reviewer whose comments improved this book. We are very grateful to Bill Finan, Elliott Beard, Cecilia González, and Kathi Anderson at Brookings Institution Press for facilitating the preparation of this volume.

We thank Justin Melnick and Susan Radov for their assistance in running the conference. We are especially grateful to Dr. Yuanyuan Zeng, associate director of the Center for the Study of Contemporary China, whose distinctive combination of substantive expertise and administrative skills are vital to the success of the center’s program, of which this book is a part.

This volume would not have been possible without the financial support of the Center for the Study of Contemporary China, whose funding is provided by the University of Pennsylvania’s provost, as well as Penn’s School of Arts and Sciences, Law School, Annenberg School for Communications, and Wharton School.
