Responses to commentators: responses to critics / Jiang Qing Summary As China continues to transform itself, many assume that the nation will eventually move beyond communism and adopt a Western-style democracy. But could China develop a unique form of government based on its own distinct traditions? Jiang Qing--China's most original, provocative, and controversial Confucian political thinker--says yes. In this book, he sets out a vision for a Confucian constitutional order that offers a compelling alternative to both the status quo in China and to a Western-style liberal democracy. A Confucian Constitutional Order is the most detailed and systematic work on Confucian constitutionalism to date Notes Title from PDF title page (viewed on Oct. 24, 2012) English translation of materials from a workshop on Confucian constitutionalism in May 2010 at the City University of Hong Kong Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Jiang, Qing, 1953- -- Political and social views SUBJECT Jiang, Qing, 1953- -- Political and social views Jiang, Qing, 1953- fast Subject Confucianism and state -- China Confucianism and state.
