Because power in China is so concentrated at the top, changes in
leadership usually mean changes in many other domains as well. In
this study, based on documents released around the time Jiang Zemin
left office in November 2002 and interviews with Chinese officials,
the authors concentrate on more fundamental institutional changes,
both those under way well before Jiang stepped down and those still
urgently needed if China is to remain stable and prosperous in the
21st century. Topics addressed include the role of ideology, the
issue of legitimacy, rule-making and -breaking, Party governance,
the use of state power for economic ends, state-society relations,
and decision making in foreign policy.
The authors ask how changing concepts of property rights have
influenced China's development, and whether present and future
leaders will be able to maintain the Party's monopoly on political
power by partially democratizing the party itself. They conclude
that strengthened institutions are critical to China's future
well-being.
Contributors include Gang Lin, Xiaobo Hu, David Bachman, Lowell
Dittmer, and Richard Madsen.
