FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The growing disconnect between Chinas market-oriented economy with its emerging civil society, and the brittle, anacronistic, and authoritarian state has given rise to intense discussion and debate about political reform, not only by Western observers, but also among Chinese intellectuals. While some expect Chinas political reform to lead to democratization, others have proposed to strengthen the institution of single-party rule and provide it with a solid legal base.
