DESCRIPTION
Is China developing a capitalist class that will rise to demand democracy? Based on an original national survey of business owners and extensive field research, Professor Tsai finds little evidence for such popular expectations. Nonetheless, private entrepreneurs have profoundly reshaped China’s political economy through a myriad of adaptive informal institutions.
Kellee S. Tsai (Ph.D., Columbia University) is Professor of Political Science and Director of East Asian Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Her publications include Capitalism without Democracy: The Private Sector in Contemporary China (Cornell University Press, 2007), China and Japan in the World Political Economy (co-edited, Routledge, 2005), Rural Industrialization and Informal Finance: Wenzhou’s Experience (co-authored in Chinese, Shanxi Economics Press, 2004), Back-Alley Banking: Private Entrepreneurs in China (Cornell University Press, 2002), and several articles. Dr. Tsai is on the board of the National Committee on US-China Relations, and the editorial board of Pacific Affairs and Stanford University Press’s Contemporary Issues in Asia and the Pacific Series.
