Summary, etc. | Since the 157 Chis has been undergoing s profond economic anformation ushered in by the wide ranging programme of market-oriented economic reformieroduced under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping<br/><br/>While most other sides of the reforms have dealt with their economic effects, Riding the Tiger is about the political dynamics of these reforms-their political origins and impact, and the nature of the political forces which have conditioned their character and effectiveness. It analyses the politics of institutional reform in industry and agriculture, the impact of new market thinking and realities on China's traditional Marxist-Leninist ideology and its dominant political institution, the Chinese Communist Party. It also traces the impact of economic reform on Chinese social structure and institutions, showing how the spread of market relations has led to greater diversity in social attitudes, interests and institutions.<br/><br/>These changes, Gordon White argues, are in turn giving rise to ineluctable pressures for reform in political institutions, thereby exploding the original assumption underlying the reforms that economic transformation could be achieved without fundamental political changes.<br/><br/>The book concludes by assessing various options for China's political future, arguing that an abrupt transition to some form of multi-party democracy is less desirable than a more gradual, stable and managed 'dual transition - first from a 'tocalist' to an authoritarian political system, and then from an authoritarian to a democratic political system. |
