This book was released on 1998 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White (politics, Princeton U.) shows how social diversification during the economic boom--treated in the first volume--has modified political norms and public practices in China. He finds the country following a typical post-revolutionary track toward decreased centralization and ideological fervor. He also finds that as the regime becomes more corporatist and less Lenninist, the traditional claims of intellectuals to state power have weakened and they have wondered off into regional or international interests.

Book Synopsis Political Booms: Local Money And Power In Taiwan, East China, Thailand, And The Philippines by : Lynn T White

Download or read book Political Booms: Local Money And Power In Taiwan, East China, Thailand, And The Philippines written by Lynn T White and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2009-06-10 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have Taiwan, rich parts of China, and Thailand boomed famously, while the Philippines has long remained stagnant both economically and politically? Do booms abet democracy? Does the rise of middle “classes” promise future liberalization? Why has Philippine democracy brought no boom and barely served the Filipino people?This book, unlike most previous studies, shows that both the roots and results of growth are largely political rather than economic. Specifically, it pays attention to local, not just national, power networks that caused or prevented growth in the four places under consideration. Violence has been common in these polities, along with money. Elections have contributed to socio-political problems that are also obvious in Leninist or junta regimes, because elections are surprisingly easy to buy with corrupt money from government contracts. Liberals should pay more serious theoretical attention to the effects of money on justice, and Western political science should focus more clearly on the ways non-state local power affects elections. By considering the effects on fair justice of local money and power (largely from small- and medium-sized firms that emerge after agrarian reforms), this book asks democrats to face squarely the extent to which electoral procedures fail to help ordinary citizens. Students and scholars of Asia will all need this book — as will students of the West whose methods have become parochial.

Book Synopsis Mao by : Lee Feigon

Download or read book Mao written by Lee Feigon and published by Ivan R. Dee. This book was released on 2003-07-24 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years historians and political observers have vilified Mao Tse-tung and placed him in a class with tyrants like Hitler and Stalin. But, as Lee Feigon points out in his startling revision of Mao, the Chinese leader has been tainted by the actions and policies of the same Soviet-style Communist bureaucrats he came to hate and attempted to eliminate. Mr. Feigon argues that the movements for which Mao is almost universally condemned today—the Great Leap Forward and especially the Cultural Revolution—were in many ways beneficial for the Chinese people. They forced China to break with its Stalinist past and paved the way for its great economic and political strides in recent years. While not glossing over Mao’s mistakes, some of which had heinous consequences, Mr. Feigon contends that Mao should be largely praised for many of his later efforts—such as the attacks he began to level in the late 1950s on those bureaucrats responsible for many of the problems that continue to plague China today. In reevaluating Mao’s contributions, this interpretive study reverses the recent curve of criticism, seeing Mao’s late-in-life contributions to the Chinese revolution more favorably while taking a more critical view of his earlier efforts. Whereas most studies praise the Mao of the 1930s and 1940s as an original and independent thinker, Mr. Feigon contends that during this period his ideas and actions were fairly ordinary—but that he depended much more on Stalin’s help than has been acknowledged. Mao: A Reinterpretation seeks a more informed perspective on one of the most important political leaders of the twentieth century.
