In the 1990s China embarked on a series of political reforms
intended to increase, however modestly, political participation to
reduce the abuse of power by local officials. Although there was
initial progress, these reforms have largely stalled and, in many
cases, gone backward. If there were sufficient incentives to
inaugurate reform, why wasn't there enough momentum to continue and
deepen them? This book approaches this question by looking at a
number of promising reforms, understanding the incentives of
officials at different levels, and the way the Chinese Communist
Party operates at the local level. The short answer is that the
sort of reforms necessary to make local officials more responsible
to the citizens they govern cut too deeply into the organizational
structure of the party.
