Description

Anne F. Thurston (au); Richard H. Solomon (fr). Among the most significant political reforms implemented by the Chinese government since 1989 is the introduction of competitive elections into rural villages. This study examines China’s efforts to bring competitive elections to the country’s rural areas & attempts to explain why local democracy has proved more successful in some places than in others. The study also attempts to reintroduce China-as-China into public dialogue. Chapters: rural Sichuan Province, Nov. 1995; the roots of political reform in China’s villages; the varieties of village self-governance; the requisites for success; & the U. S. response to Chinese political reform.
