This comprehensive volume is a three-part study of whether the
Chinese political system has maintained a significant degree of
regime legitimacy in the context of rising domestic discontent, in
particular the popular protests against socio-economic inequality
and environment degradation. Part I presents the scholarly debate
on the theoretical refinement and empirical measurement of regime
legitimacy in contemporary China. Part II focuses on the challenges
to regime legitimacy of the increasingly widespread popular
protests and civil activism. Part III examines the regime's
responses to these challenges, including coercive repression,
adaptation, and economic performance. This book finds that, while
repression can hardly stop popular protests - and often backfires -
economic performance legitimacy is increasingly difficult to be
maintained. The only way out is the adaptation to the changing
domestic and international environment. The chapters in this
collection were originally published in the Journal of Contemporary
China.
