This book investigates whether the theory of "deliberative
democracy"--developed in the West to focus democratic theory on the
legitimization that deliberation can afford--has any application to
Chinese processes of democratization. It discovers pockets of
theory especially useful to guide Chinese practices and pockets of
Chinese practice that can, in turn, educate the West on
possibilities for innovative uses of deliberative democratic
theory.
This book examines the status of village democracy, studies the
achievements and the problems, explains its dynamics, and
investigates the prospects of China's democratization. It
challenges the skeptics with a nuanced assessment of village
democracy in its variety and diversity. It develops an
understanding of how three key factors - township, economy and
kinship-- shape village democracy and account for the variations of
rural democracy. The extension of village to township elections has
been examined and an idea of mixed regime being formulated with an
examination of its key features and implications for our
understanding of political development in China.
This book discusses the roles of civil society in the initiation
stage of democratization in China. It argues that there is a
semi-civil society in China and that this quasi-civil society that
plays dual roles in the initial stage of democratisation in China.
It makes a contribution to existing theories on democratic
functions of civil society by applying, testing, revising and
developing these theories in the context of Chinese
democratization.
