This book theorizes Chinese politics, specifically about China’s
“deliberative democracy (xieshang minzhu 协商民主)”.
Creating a China-West comparative framework, the author
interrogates China's government's claims to give representation to
citizens, allowing readers to see how all of these concepts
interact within Chinese ideology, democratic discourse, and
governance, and their relationship with Chinese authoritarianism.
Above all, this book represents a sustained hybridization of
political theory, one which is neither a simple
democratic-authoritarian dichotomy, nor a reinterpretation of the
official propaganda. This study will interest scholars of Chinese
politics and statecraft, shedding light on an emergent discourse of
the state – Chinese xieshang minzhu. More importantly, this
book goes beyond a simple rhetorical and linguistic use of
‘deliberative democracy’ in the Western sense, and rather
emphasizes the very consultative nature of Chinese politics, which
facilitates and reconsolidates Chinese authoritarianism.
