Abstract

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.

Abstract

"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.

Abstract

Four decades of reform fostered a democratic mentality in China. Now citizens are waiting for the government to catch up. Jiwei Ci argues that the tensions between a largely democratic society and an undemocratic political system will trigger a crisis of legitimacy, compelling the Communist Party to become agents of democratic change-or collapse.
