The Transformation of Chinese Socialism

Autor Chun Lin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mai 2006
In this significant contribution to both political theory and China studies, Lin Chun provides a critical assessment of the scope and limits of socialist experiments in China, analyzing their development since the victory of the Chinese communist revolution in 1949 and reflecting on the country’s likely paths into the future. Lin suggests that China’s twentieth-century trajectory be grasped in terms of the collective search by its people for a modern alternative to colonial modernity, bureaucratic socialism, and capitalist subordination. Evaluating contending interpretations of the formation and transformation of Chinese socialism in the contemporary conditions of global capitalism, Lin argues that the post-Mao reform model must be remade.

Recenzii

“With quite exceptional historical and theoretical insight, Lin Chun examines what remains of the Chinese Revolution’s socialist legacy and explores the prospects for the rebirth of a new kind of Chinese socialism in the People's Republic. This very original and thought-provoking study is essential reading for those concerned about the future of China and the fate of socialism in the age of capitalist globalization.” Maurice Meisner, author of Mao’s China and After: A History of the People’s Republic“The Transformation of Chinese Socialism is a visionary and critical reorientation for social theory. It is a great reminder of what the stakes are just now and why socialism, far from being defunct, has as much to offer governance theories and policy planners as it always has.” Tani E. Barlow, author of The Question of Women in Chinese Feminism“While most people have already cast China as a capitalist country with a communist government, Lin Chun shows that there may be life in Chinese socialism yet. Combining erudition, passion, and an engaging writing style, Lin challenges a lot of conventional wisdom about China. This book should be on the shelf of everyone who has any interest in the course of the Chinese economy and society.”—Meghnad Desai, author of Marx’s Revenge: The Resurgence of Capitalism and the Death of Statist Socialism "The Transformation of Chinese Socialism is an important book. Lin Chun's grasp of the issues of Chinese socialism, and the serious engagement with which she presents them, easily makes the book by far the best discussion of socialism in China available in English." Arif Dirlik, The China Review "Lin Chun presents a cogent and articulate argument for a socialist model of xiaokang. . . . Recommended." R.E. Entenmann, Choice "Lin's analysis . . . of the reform era does contribute significantly to the ongoing debates and controversies about the future of China." Thomas P. Bernstein, The China Journal "This is a timely book dealing with a very important subject. . . . It should be read by scholars in various areas of comparative study and will in no doubt shape the discussion of contemporary Chinese politics and society." Yiching Wu, The China Quarterly "Those interested in international economic development will appreciate the author's discussions in the Chinese context of such standard concepts as globalization, noncapitalist development, socialism, nationalism, developmentalism, revolution, democracy, bureaucracy, institutions, ideology and legitimacy, and socialism and markets." Donald Bowles, Perspectives on Political Science
