A general expectation has developed that China's middle class will
generate not only social but also political change. This
expectation often overlooks the reality that there is no single
Chinese middle class with a common identity or will to action. This
timely volume examines the behaviour and identity of the different
elements of China's middle class entrepreneurs, managers, and
professionals - in order to understand their centrality to the
wider processes of social and political change in China. The expert
contributors seek to identify the social space occupied by the
Chinese middle class rather than identifying social backgrounds and
attitudes. In so doing they explore socio-political issues, the
development of a consumer society, relationships between gender and
class in the workplace, home-ownership and the appearance of gated
communities, and the political interaction between the Party-state
and the entrepreneurial middle classes and their impact on the new
institutional economics. Providing a more nuanced understanding of
the structure of the middle class in China and identifying dynamic
elements in their behaviour, this unique book will prove a
fascinating and thought provoking read for academics, students and
researchers with an interest in Asian studies and public policy.
Contributors include: C. Cartier, M. Chen, L. Chunling, D.S.G.
Goodman, H. Hendrischke, D. Jianzhong, Y. Jing, J. Liu, J.L. Rocca,
