Communism & Socialism Editorial Review
China's Trapped Transition: The Limits of Developmental Autocracy is a highly intelligent and well-researched analysis of China as a dysfunctional, 'predatory' state with a highly influential political system. It argues that China's political stability requires side payments to various corrupt and well-placed elites to remain in power, and the authorities are keen on maintaining a monopoly of power. The book highlights China's political structure and documented facts and figures to support the theory. Its 2009 publication date means it was written before Xi Jinping came to power and attempted some reforms. Some Chinese elites are in favor of democracy, just as American Federalists favor Constitutional limitations. Still, others are phobic about democracy, and the pursuit of stability is preventing the promotion of democracy, even if there are no rent-seekers or corruption to stand in the way.
