Will China become a multiparty democracy? The author posits that the more that Chinese elite thinking on China's development and change reconciles the tension between Chinese nationalism and collectivist, family-like ethics on the one hand, and the western democratic ideals based on each self-seeking individual's subjectivity on the other hand, the greater the chance that China's political development will lead to a multiparty democracy. The author projects that within the next twenty years there China will march on the path of democratization.

"Une forme spécifique de revendication démocratique serait-elle à l'œuvre en Chine ? La "protestation", en se généralisant, y amorcerait-elle un processus aux conséquences imprévisibles ? Telles sont les questions que soulèvent les auteurs de cette saisissante étude. Elle porte sur une réalité largement méconnue. Depuis 1951 existe là-bas un dispositif intitulé "Administration des Lettres et visites". Créé par Mao Zedong, il était destiné à recevoir les plaintes, protestations et doléances des particuliers. Cet ouvrage raconte comment cette administration, souvent instrumentalisée idéologiquement, n'a cessé de s'étendre et de se codifier. Mais aussi et surtout comment elle a autorisé un espace de parole qui est devenu le lieu d'une contestation du réel massive et inattendue. L'immense collection de doléances ainsi recueillie - tant par voie écrite (les lettres) qu'orale (les visites) -, qui raconte en creux l'histoire de la Chine moderne, n'avait jamais été examinée. Les auteurs ont pu avoir accès à des centaines de ces lettres et enquêter sur la pratique (très réglementée) des visites, jusqu'alors inconnue du dehors, pour essayer de comprendre qui s'exprime au sein de cet espace ; auprès de qui ; pour dire quoi ; et comment. Le résultat de leur travail est inédit. Il montre comment ceux qui, depuis des décennies, adressent lettres et visites aux autorités font état d'attentes morales et politiques souvent ignorées mais qui relèvent bien d'un processus d'invention démocratique"--P. [4] of cover.

A respected Chinese political philosopher calls for the Communist Party to take the lead in moving China along the path to democracy before it is too late. With Xi Jinping potentially set as president for life, China's move toward political democracy may appear stalled. But Jiwei Ci argues that four decades of reform have created a mentality in the Chinese people that is just waiting for the political system to catch up, resulting in a disjunction between popular expectations and political realities. The inherent tensions in a largely democratic society without a democratic political system will trigger an unprecedented crisis of legitimacy, forcing the Communist Party to act or die. Two crises loom for the government. First is the waning of the Communist Party's revolutionary legacy, which the party itself sees as a grave threat. Second is the fragility of the next leadership transition. No amount of economic success will compensate for the party's legitimacy deficit when the time comes. The only effective response, Ci argues, will be an orderly transition to democracy. To that end, the Chinese government needs to start priming its citizens for democracy, preparing them for new civil rights and civic responsibilities. Embracing this pragmatic role offers the Communist Party a chance to survive. Its leaders therefore have good reason to initiate democratic change. Sure to challenge the Communist Party and stir debate, Democracy in China brings an original and important voice to an issue with far-reaching consequences for China and the world.
