Central to the process has been an extraordinary change in the formal intellectual conception of "democracy." Chinese Democracy after Tiananmen explores this pivotal idea, presenting a multidimensional picture of contemporary China at the political crossroads." "Yijiang Ding looks at the significant change in the state-society relationship in three intertwined areas: the intellectual, the social, and the cultural. Drawing on very recent Chinese scholarship, Ding shows that the emergent theory of the dualism of state and society is contemporaneous with a new cognitive and cultural appreciation of the people's independence from state authority." "Is China moving toward liberal democracy? Does Western engagement with China contribute economically and politically to this shift? The questions that lie at the heart of this book are especially timely in light of the recent reconstruction of political regimes worldwide."--Jacket 410 0$aContemporary Chinese studies. 606 $aDemocracy$zChina 606 $aSocial change$zChina 607 $aChina$xSocial conditions 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y1976-2002 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aSocial change 676 $a320.951 700 $aDing$b Yijiang$0280171 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822684203321 996 $aChinese democracy after Tiananmen$9663192 997 $aUNINA
