Capitalism without Democracy: The Private Sector in Contemporary China
UC Berkeley's Center for Chinese Studies presents a talk by Kellee Tsa on the growth of the private sector in modern China.
When:
October 8, 2009 4:00pm to 6:00pm
Where
Kellee Tsai, Political Science, Johns Hopkins University
Kevin O'Brien, Political Science, UC Berkeley, discussant
The stunning expansion of China’s private sector growth has led observers to assume that its growing ranks of capitalists represent a force for democratization. Tsai’s research in ten provinces finds little evidence for this belief, but shows that private entrepreneurs have nonetheless had a structural impact on Chinese politics through a variety of “adaptive informal institutions.”
