China under Xi Jinping: an Interdisciplinary Assessment provides a comprehensive review of Xi's reforms and his impact on the course taken by modern China, both domestically and internationally. The authors of the chapters – experts dealing with China in their daily academic or analytical work – formulate answers to the following questions:
• How has China’s political system changed under Xi Jinping?
• What characterizes Xi as a politician?
• What are the reasons for the success of China’s economic transformation?
• What’s next for the Belt and Road Initiative?
• How is Xi Jinping’s China responding to challenges in terms of security policy, but also, i.e., climate protection and energy transition?
• How is Chinese nationalism shaping up under Xi’s rule?
• How is Xi Jinping’s cabinet responding to the domestic and international challenges?
• What changes have occurred in Chinese culture since Xi took power?
The studies included in Mythogenesis, Interdiscursivity, Ritual — written in honor of Professor Demetrios Yatromanolakis, a pioneering and influential scholar — shed new light on a variety of areas: the encounters of ancient Greece with other societies and cultures in antiquity; the interplay between art (vase-painting and sculpture) and broader ideological developments/ mentalities in antiquity; ritual in ancient Greek contexts; political ideologies and religion; history of scholarship, textual criticism/critical editing, and hermeneutics; the reception of myth and of archaic and classical Greek culture and philosophy in diverse discursive, mediatic, and sociocultural contexts — from early twentieth-century painting, to modernism and the avant-garde, to Foucauldian thought.

Honouring David Fasenfest, who has not only conducted research spanning contexts from Detroit to Shanghai but is also a long-standing editor both of a social science journal and of its related book series, this festschrift addresses issues central to political economy. These range from globalization, employment, migration, social justice, inequality, race/class, and urban poverty to Marxist theory, democracy, capitalism, neoliberalism, and socialism. In keeping with the editorial policy and ideas pursued by the honorand, the contributions emphasize the continuing need on the part of sociology to adopt a radically critical investigative approach to all these issues.
