This book examines the Chinese education policy landscape since 1978 by
constructing a policy analysis tool, the "concept-added policy
chain,"and discusses how to review, assess and forecast the development
of that landscape, historically and contextually. In addition, it
presentsseveral major historical educational policy shifts in order to
explore both the internal and external rationale behind the development
of aneducation policy with Chinese characteristics. It also provides a
unique policy analysis tool for investigating the intricate political
logics in contemporary Chinese education policy development at the
macro-level, systematically and comprehensively.
