Policy makers as well as many scholars expect that formation of a private sector will lead, directly or indirectly through the emergence of a civil society, to political change and ultimately democratization. The rapidly growing numbers of private entrepreneurs, the formation of business associations, and the cooperative relationships between entrepreneurs and local officials are seen as initial indicators of a transition from China's still nominally communist political system. This book, first published in 2003, focuses on two related issues: whether the Chinese Communist Party is willing and able to adapt to the economic environment its reforms are bringing about, and whether China's 'red capitalists', private entrepreneurs who also belong to the communist party, are likely to be agents of political change.Cambridge modern China series.BusinessmenChinaPolitical activityEntrepreneurshipPolitical aspectsChinaChinaPolitics and government1976-2002ChinaEconomic policy1976-2000BusinessmenPolitical activity.EntrepreneurshipPolitical aspects324.251/075Dickson Bruce J280734MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810761803321Red capitalists in China672268UNINA
