| Summary |
"What is the nature of the political changes under way in China? Might China become a democracy? And what lessons, if any, might Taiwan's experiences of political change and democratization hold for China's future? The authors of this book consider these questions through a structured comparison of Taiwan's historical experience with the current period of economic and social change in the PRC. The authors also provide a more focused analysis of China's current, and possible future, politics."--BOOK JACKET |
