Short description:
In this book, Carl Minzner argues that China's reform era is ending. The core factors that characterized the era-political stability, ideological openness, and rapid economic growth-are unraveling. Economic cleavages have widened; ideological polarization deepened. And China's leaders are now progressively cannibalizing institutional norms and practices that have formed the bedrock of the regime's stability since 1978. End of an Era explains how China arrived at this dangerous crossroads, and outlines the potential outcomes that could result
MoreLong description:
China's reform era is ending. Core factors that characterized it-political stability, ideological openness, and rapid economic growth-are unraveling. Since the 1990s, Beijing's leaders have firmly rejected any fundamental reform of their authoritarian one-party political system, and on the surface, their efforts have been a success. But as Carl Minzner shows, a closer look at China's reform era reveals a different truth. Over the past three decades, a frozen political system has fueled both the rise of entrenched interests within the Communist Party itself, and the systematic underdevelopment of institutions of governance among state and society at large. Economic cleavages have widened. Social unrest has worsened. Ideological polarization has deepened. Now, to address these looming problems, China's leaders are progressively cannibalizing institutional norms and practices that have formed the bedrock of the regime's stability in the reform era. End of an Era explains how China arrived at this dangerous turning point, and outlines the potential outcomes that could result.
Mr. Minzner's arguments are lucid, readable and well-sourced, making this compact volume compulsory reading for those who continue to insist that China's authoritarian governance might be an improvement on democracy." -Wall Street Journal
