| Description: |
To predict the shape of a future China one has to examine the economic, social and political transformations the country has undergone since 1978. The author proposes an institutional approach based upon transitional theories to carry out such an analysis. |
| Synopsis: |
China's Economic Development and Democratization examines China's transformation from an institutional perspective. It proposes an analytical framework comprising six macro institutional environments: international, ideological, political, economic, constitutional, and civil-social, to analyze the Chinese transition. Through an institutional analysis of the ruling elite's policy institutionalization, it tries to answer three main questions: Will China's economic reforms lead to a meaningful political reform? Will economic freedom lead to political freedom? Will economic development lead to political democratization? The major findings from the institutional analysis of the dynamic interactions between political actors and institutions suggest that China is moving closer towards democracy. Students and scholars who are studying or conducting researches on the Chinese economy, society or politics will find this book of particular interest. |
