Produktinformationen zu „The Making of the Chinese Middle Class / The Sciences Po Series in International Relations and Political Economy (PDF)“
This book analyses the making of the Chinese middle class that started in the 1990s using a constructivist approach. With the development of the Chinese economy, a new group of middle wage earners appeared. Chinese social scientists and state institutions promoted the idea that China needs a middle class to achieve modernization. Middle class members are defined-and define themselves-as good consumers, educated people, politically engaged but reasonable citizens. As such, the making of the middle class is the result of three convergent phenomena: an attempt to define the middle class, a process of civilization, and the development of protest movements. The making of the Chinese middle class, Rocca argues, is a way to end the stalemate that modern Chinese society is facing, in particular the necessity to democratize without introducing an election system.

Pressezitat
“A major contribution to the literature not only on the middle-class phenomenon in China, but also on the industrialized and industrializing world's understandings of class more generally. It will be useful reading for students on courses in China studies, sociology and politics, and should be mandatory for any researcher interested in social change in China, not only for its analysis and findings, but also for the richness of its source material and the sophistication of its methodology.” (David S. G. Goodman, China Quarterly Review, Vol. 231, September, 2017)“This important contribution is the best effort yet by Western social scientists in their continuous struggle to define what being middle class means in Chinese society. … A thoughtful book worthy of further consideration. Summing Up: Recommended. All academic levels/libraries.” (W. R. Jankowiak, Choice, Vol. 54 (11), July, 2017)
