Martin Jacques is a British former magazine editor and academic. He was born and raised in Coventry. He was an undergraduate student at Manchester University, where he graduated with a first-class honors degree, and subsequently studied for a PhD at King's College, Cambridge.Jacques was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, becoming, in his own words, "a member of its Executive Committee, probably the youngest member ever at about twenty-two". He was editor of the party's journal, Marxism Today, from 1977 until its closure in 1991. In this period, he was the co-editor or co-author of The Forward March of Labour Halted? (1981), The Politics of Thatcherism (1983) and New Times (1989).Jacques was a co-founder of the think-tank Demos.He has been a columnist for The Times and The Sunday Times and was deputy editor of The Independent.Jacques is a visiting fellow at the London School of Economics Asia Research Centre.He was a visiting professor at the International Centre for Chinese Studies at Aichi University in Japan, a visiting professor at Renmin University in Beijing and a senior visiting fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore.Jacques' wife Harinder Kaur Veriah, a Malaysian lawyer, died in January 2000 aged 33 at Ruttonjee Hospital in Hong Kong after suffering epileptic fits and then cardiac arrest. Jacques and their son Ravi, who was aged 16 months when she died, sued the Hospital Authority for negligence and racism; the hospital settled the case in 2010. Her death led to the introduction of anti-racism laws in 2008.In 2009, Jacques' book about Asian modernity and the rise of China entitled When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order was published.Jacques is a columnist for The Guardian and New Statesman.
