Summary

This book investigates whether the theory of "deliberative democracy"-developed in the West to focus democratic theory on the legitimization that deliberation can afford-has any application to Chinese processes of democratization. It discovers pockets of theory especially useful to guide Chinese practices and pockets of Chinese practice that can, in turn, educate the West on possibilities for innovative uses of deliberative democratic theory.
