China Modernizes: Threat To The West Or Model For The Rest?

摘要

Randall Peerenboom analyses China's performance according to "four main pillars of modernity": economic development; human rights; rule of law; and democracy. He presents four principal goals of his analysis: setting China in comparative contexts; putting China's experience within general debates about modernisation and globalisation; addressing the threat or model question in the book's subtitle; and considering what China can learn from, and what lessons it can provide to, others about development, democratisation and modernisation.
