Political Change in China by Bruce Gilley
How might China become a democracy? And what lessons, if any, might Taiwan's experience of democratization hold for China's future? The authors of this volume consider these questions, both through comparisons of Taiwan's historical experience with the current period of economic and social change in the PRC, and through more focused analysis of China's current, and possible future, politics.This title explores current, and possible future, political change in China in the context of Taiwan's experience of democratization.
