Zusammenfassung

Der Literaturbericht gibt eine Übersicht über die internationale Debatte zur aktuellen innenpolitischen Entwicklung Chinas und zur möglichen zukünftigen Entwicklung des Landes in Richtung Demokratisierung, Systemkrise oder „anpassungsfähiger Autoritarismus“. Anhand aktueller Publikationen wird in die Veränderung des chinesischen Herrschaftssystems eingeführt und die Einstellung der chinesischen Bevölkerung dazu beleuchtet. Lokale Reformen sowie die Entstehung einer Umweltbewegung und einer Proto-Zivilgesellschaft dienen zur Illustration des allmählichen sozio-politischen Wandels im heutigen China.

Abstract

The review essay sketches the international debate about current political developments in China and possible future trends towards democratisation, political crisis or “resilient authoritarianism”. With reference to recent publications, modifications of the Chinese political system are presented and the attitude of the Chinese population towards these changes is discussed. Local reforms, the emergence of an environmental movement and a proto-civil society illustrate the socio-political changes going on in today’s China.
