This third and final issue of Volume 5 of the International Journal of China Studies (2014) represents a collection of research articles covering some of the most pertinent aspects of the state and changes in the internal political economy and foreign relations of today’s China. This December 2014 issue of the International Journal of China Studies, the third and final issue of the fifth volume since the launching of the journal in 2010, thus significantly completes a trilogy beginning with the April issue (Vol. 5, No. 1) that focused on Taiwan’s democracy and cross-Strait relations, followed by Vol. 5, No. 2, covering the quarter-century legacy of the Tiananmen demonstrations of 1989 which culminated in the June Fourth tragedy – a June/August issue as the usual August publication date was brought forward to June to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of a momentous, tragic event of June 1989 that tremendously shaped and altered China’s trajectory of development whether in terms of her internal political economy or her foreign relations and diplomacy in the subsequent decades. The impacts, overt or subtle, are undoubtedly still strongly felt today. The present issue, Vol. 5, No. 3, hence brings the 2014 trilogy to a close by concentrating its focus on some of the most critical areas of the state and changes in the domestic political economy and international relations of today’s mainland China.
