This book analyses the making of the Chinese middle class that
started in the 1990s using a constructivist approach. With the
development of the Chinese economy, a new group of middle wage
earners appeared. Chinese social scientists and state institutions
promoted the idea that China needs a middle class to achieve
modernization. Middle class members are defined-and define
themselves-as good consumers, educated people, politically engaged
but reasonable citizens. As such, the making of the middle class is
the result of three convergent phenomena: an attempt to define the
middle class, a process of civilization, and the development of
protest movements. The making of the Chinese middle class, Rocca
argues, is a way to end the stalemate that modern Chinese society
is facing, in particular the necessity to democratize without
introducing an election system.
