Twenty years after the launch of village elections, the time is
ripe to assess the progress and impact of China's most notable
political reform. Where have elections been conducted well and
where have they been conducted poorly? How have procedures changed
over the years and have elections truly transformed how power is
exercised in the countryside? What methods are researchers
employing to study elections and how have scholars from different
disciplines contributed to our knowledge of grassroots politics in
China? This book carefully examines the implementation and effects
of China's village, township, and people's congress elections, both
in terms of democratizing the polity and spurring other changes in
state-society relations. The chapters in this book have been
published across several issues of the Journal of Contemporary
China.
