China and Autocracy: Political Influence and the Limits of Global Democracy
Editat de Miao-ling Lin Hasenkampen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 noi 2021
China's success economically, this collection argues, is undermining the post-war consensus that 'liberal democracy is best'. In a multi-polar, Chinese-dominated world, Trump, Putin, Erdogan, and other global leaders no longer criticize China. In fact, they frequently invoke the usefulness of 'strong' and 'united' leadership. At the same time, China seeks to wear the mantle of a great power, and in doing so talks about human rights, climate change, freedom and economic liberalism.
This collection examines how China views itself and where reality meets rhetoric on trade, international relations, diplomacy, economics and social policy. The contributors expertly dissect China's autocracy, and show how a ripple effect is altering the political-model consensus around the world.

Recenzii
At a time when conditions in China appear ever more circumscribed and China's global engagement is ever more intense, this ground-breaking multi-disciplinary study on Chinese authoritarianism in all its different forms helps make sense of what the PRC's political system means for domestic governance and the Chinese people, and what it means for Chinese foreign relations and the rest of the world.
A wide ranging discussion, from a diverse group of authors, of one of the most pressing issues in geopolitics today - what the Chinese model of governance might be, and how it might offer competition to liberal democracies. Taking case studies from domestic issues like anti-corruption management to provincial leadership and propaganda, and international ones such as China's engagement with Africa, this study shows that there are no straight forward answers, and that a variety of theoretical approaches need to be used to understand not only what a Chinese model might be, but whether it really has potency and relevance beyond the borders of China itself.
