This volume is the first comprehensive study of China's “political civilization” since the term was introduced by then Party Secretary Jiang Zemin in 2002. Selected among about 200 papers delivered at an international conference in Beijing in 2004, this collection of ten essays discusses the relations between “political civilization” and political reform in China from the different perspectives of institution building, political culture, political theory, intra-party democracy, political participation, judiciary reform, legislative reform, and media reform. While the contributors are aware of the enormous difficulties China faces in reforming its political system and political culture, most are optimistic about the prospect of reform. Through theoretical discussions, the institutional analysis and other empirical methods in the book contribute to our understanding of Chinese politics in unique ways.

Cr�ticas

"This collection of ten essays from about 200 conference papers by a competent team of scholars on Chinese politics carefully examines the relationship between political civilization and modernization in China from both the empirical and theoretical perspectives ... As a result, we have an insightful and well-researched volume for students of Chinese politics."Professor Joseph Y S ChengCity University of Hong Kong"Scholars and practitioners alike, who are concerned about China's development and East Asian stability, cannot afford to ignore this book. This volume will be equally valuable for scholars who focus their research on cross-region and cross-country comparative studies. The case of China can be placed in the context of either East Asian developmental models or Communist and Post-Communist development. Therefore, this book has my strong recommendation."Professor Quansheng ZhaoAmerican University, Washington"This edited volume is a timely reminder that China's political reform deserves just as much attention, for its absence would surely derail the country's economy and lead to regime decay and even collapse ... it represents a concrete step toward a better understanding of the unique and daunting challenges China is facing in its pursuit of political stability and economic prosperity. This book will therefore be a valuable read for both scholars and policy makers who are interested in contemporary Chinese politics."Pacific Affairs
