Zusammenfassung:Since the late 1980s the Western world has come to believe more and more in the inevitability of economic development and liberal democracy. The quiet revolution underway in China since 1978 provides ample opportunity to examine the relationships between the processes of political, economic and social change. This volume describes and explains those relationships by looking at what has happened in the past fifteen years to assess the prospects for the 1990s. China's Quiet Revolution takes the reader from the changes wrought to China's social structure by economic modernization, through the associated issues of wealth, status and power, to explore the emergence of new social forces in China during the reform era.
