Description: "This book takes a close look at major issues about China's democratization, highlighting main barriers to democratization and providing key angles to understanding China's great difficulties in making democratic progress. The author examines the possible linkages between elite, class and regime transition in China, and maintains that China's democratic development needs to be understood in the context of state-society relations, all the while emphasizing that class power is playing an increasingly significant role in China's elite politics and the people's struggle for democracy."--BOOK JACKET.
