This book examines the new equity-enhancing politics in China in
the context of Chinese traditional cognitive patterns of political
legitimacy and its implication for Chinese political development in
the near future. Based on an analysis of the new governing
philosophy, the generation of political elite, and a new set of
public policies, the book reaffirms the emergence of a new Chinese
polity that infuses one-party rule with limited electoral and
deliberative democracies. Unlike many scholars who perceive the
contemporary Chinese history as a constant search for democracy,
this book takes a very different approach. It asserts that the
enduring question in political development in China today is no
different from what was sought after throughout Chinese history,
namely, the constant search for political legitimacy. Even though
the quest for democracy is instrumental to that end, it may not
ultimately lead to the embrace of a full-fledged liberal democracy.
The new politics is not only a rationalization of the
efficiency-based development, but also a major paradigm shift in
China's developmental strategy.
