How, practically speaking, is the Chinese polity - as immense and
fissured as it has now become - actually being governed today? Some
analysts highlight signs of 'progress' in the direction of more
liberal, open, and responsive rule. Others dwell instead on the
many remaining 'obstacles' to a hoped-for democratic transition.
Drawing together cutting-edge research from an international panel
of experts, this volume argues that both those approaches rest upon
too starkly drawn distinctions between democratic and
non-democratic 'regime types', and concentrate too narrowly on
institutions as opposed to practices. The prevailing analytical
focus on adaptive and resilient authoritarianism - a
neo-institutionalist concept - fails to capture what are often
cross-cutting currents in ongoing processes of political change.
Illuminating a vibrant repertoire of power practices employed in
governing China today, these authors advance instead a more fluid,
open-ended conceptual approach that privileges nimbleness,
mutability, and receptivity to institutional and procedural
invention and evolution.
