Contemporary Chinese political thought : debates and perspectives
Westerners seem united in belief that China has emerged as a major economic power and that this success will continue, but are less certain about future of China's political system. China's steps toward free market capitalism have led many outsiders to expect increased democratization and a more Western political system. The Chinese, however, have developed their own version of capitalism. Westerners view Chinese politics through the lens of their own ideologies, preventing them from understanding Chinese goals and policies. In Contemporary Chinese Political Thought: Debates and Perspectives, Fred Dallmayr and Zhao Tingyang bring together leading Chinese intellectuals to debate the main political ideas shaping this rapidly changing nation. They investigate such topics as the popular "China Model", the resurgence of Chinese Confucianism and its applications to the modern world, and liberal socialism. Comprising a broad range of opinions and perspectives, this book is an up-to-date examination in English of modern Chinese political attitudes and discourse
