The Chinese government has attempted to bolster its legitimacy as a
political response to emerging social, cultural, political,
economic, environmental challenges and crises experienced during
market-oriented reforms and rapid modernization in China. However,
contrary to the Western preference for liberal democracy and
"procedural legitimacy," the Chinese government's attempt at
bolstering legitimacy has emphasized performance-based,
responsibility-based, morality-based, and ideology-based arguments
in order to gain popular support and maintain regime stability. In
order to understand and explain political phenomena in China, it is
necessary to revisit the concepts, theories, and sources of
legitimacy and their applications in the Chinese context.
Contributors of this book have approached legitimacy from both
normative and empirical perspectives, and from Western and Chinese
perspectives, thus this edited volume offers lessons and insights
for and from China, and contributes to the ongoing theoretical
debates as well as empirical research on legitimacy in the Chinese
context.
