Opis

This book examines why and how limited electoral competition developed in Greater China. The editors attribute Taiwan's electoral competition to breakthroughs in the political, ideological, economic and organizational marketplaces. Without similar breakthroughs, Hong Kong and Mainland China aren't likely to achieve electoral competition.

Recenzje

A timely analysis of an important ongoing area of reform ... thoughtful introductory essay by the editors ... The volume should be an interesting background reader for those working in the fields of China studies, politics, and democratisation in post-communist societies.
