Two books have been recognized by the Asia Society’s 2011 Bernard Schwartz Book Award for their outstanding contributions to the understanding of contemporary Asia and U.S.-Asia relations: The Party: The Secret World of China’s Communist Rulers by Richard McGregor; and Paths to Development in Asia: South Korea, Vietnam, China, and Indonesia by Tuong Vu.
In The Party, Richard McGregor delves deeply into China’s inner sanctum for the first time and offers a captivating portrait of the history of China’s Communist Party, its present influence, and its future. Tuong Vu’s Paths to Development makes a compelling case that state formation politics, rather than colonial legacies, have had decisive and lasting impacts on the structures of emerging states in Asia.
Please join us for a luncheon in honor of the awardees, who will be joined in conversation by Orville Schell.
