Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --IndexWhy hasn't the emergence of capitalism led China's citizenry to press for liberal democratic change? This book argues that China's combination of state-led development, late industrialization, and socialist legacies have affected popular perceptions of socioeconomic mobility, economic dependence on the state, and political options, giving citizens incentives to perpetuate the political status quo and disincentives to embrace liberal democratic change. Wright addresses the ways in which China's political and economic development shares broader features of state-led late industrialization and post-socialist transformation with countries as diverse as Mexico, India, Tunisia, Indonesia, South Korea, Brazil, Russia, and Vietnam. With its detailed analysis of China's major socioeconomic groups (private entrepreneurs, state sector workers, private sector workers, professionals and students, and farmers), Accepting Authoritarianism is an up-to-date, comprehensive, and coherent text on the evolution of state-society relations in reform-era China.AuthoritarianismChinaChinaPolitics and government1976-2002ChinaPolitics and government2002-ChinaEconomic conditions1976-2000ChinaEconomic conditions2000-Authoritarianism331.10951Wright Teresa741412MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828854603321Accepting authoritarianism4040462UNINA
