This monograph ties in the scholarly debate on Chinese village
elections and their consequences for China's political system. It
draws on comparative fieldwork conducted in six villages in two
counties in Jiangxi and Jilin Provinces and one district in
Shenzhen between 2002 and 2005, producing data from some 140
in-depth interviews of villagers and local officials up to the
prefectural level. The major objective of this book is as much a
critical assessment of the research literature of Chinese village
elections published over the last fifteen years as to sharpen the
reader's sight for the scope and limits of this important reform to
generate regime legitimacy in the local state, an issue which has
so far been neglected in the study of Chinese village elections. It
hence contributes to our understanding of the nexus between
political participation and cadre accountability at the grassroots,
and highlights a number of factors ensuring the persistence of
one-party rule in contemporary China.
