The Ills of Liberalism: Thinking Through the P.R.C & the Political.  .This book analyzes the 'intellectual political culture' of post-Tiananmen China in comparison to and in conflict with liberalism inside and outside the P.R.C. How do mainland politics and discourses challenge ‘our’ own, chiefly liberal and anti-‘statist’ political frameworks? To what extent is China paradoxically intertwined with a liberal economism? How can one understand its general refusal of liberalism, as well as its frequent, direct responses to electoral democracy, universalism, Western media, and other normative forces? Vukovich argues that the Party-state poses a challenge to our understandings of politics, globalization, and even progress. To be illiberal is not necessarily to be reactionary and vulgar but, more interestingly, to be anti-liberal and to seek alternatives to a degraded liberalism. In this way Chinese politics illuminate the global conjuncture, and may have lessons in otherwise bleak times.China in TransformationPolitical theoryComparative politicsAsia-Politics and governmentPolitical Theoryhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/911010Comparative Politicshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/911040Asian Politicshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/911110Political theory.Comparative politics.Asia-Politics and government.Political Theory.Comparative Politics.Asian Politics.320.01Vukovich Daniel Fauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut714307BOOK9910350249703321Illiberal China2509801UNINA
