Hu seeks to explain China's failure to establish a democratic system. He demonstrates both continuity and change in China's democratization process. Modern China regards power and wealth as primary goals and treats a strong state as a major means to these ends. Such a preference puts democracy on a back burner. Employing a theoretical framework which consists of five factors—historical legacies, local forces, the world system, socialist values, and economic development—Hu shows that, while all of these factors were at work in all eras, each assumes a special significance in a particular period. Traditional China before the 1911 Revolution attempted to adjust itself to a new, Western-dominated world. In the Republican era, the control of local forces topped the political agenda. Nationalist China sought to survive and develop in the world system, while Maoist China set for itself the task of building a socialist state. And, of course, economic development has been the priority of the Deng era. As Hu shows, these five factors have had determining impacts on the long struggle for democracy in China.

What is democracy? What are the pitfalls and the positive potentials in the growing trend toward democratization? This book examines the prospects for democracy in the world today and frames the central dilemma confronting all states touched by the process of democratization. Georg Sorensen clarifies the concept of democracy, shows its application in different contexts, and questions whether democratic advancement will continue-and if so, at what price. The consequences of democracy for economic development, human rights, and peaceful relations among countries are illuminated in both their positive and negative aspects. This third edition includes an entirely new chapter on the promotion of democracy from the outside which covers current issues of state building in Iraq. Further revisions include updates to the section on the prospects of democracy in today's world, an extended discussion of the economic performance of recently democratized countries, and an evaluation of the possibilities for further democratic consolidation. There are also new case studies, examples, and anecdotes to illustrate historical as well as contemporary instances of democratic transition. Democracy, as Sorensen convincingly portrays it, is a value in itself as well as a potential promoter of peace, prosperity, and human well-being. But democracy is not inevitable, and actions at every level-from the individual to the international-are necessary to ensure that frail or 'frozen' democracies do not flounder and that established democracies flourish.

This dissertation examines the patterns and causes of national differences of democratic development processes in Taiwan and South Korea. I focus on three main tasks. First, I identify how the modes of transitions were different. Second, I examine why these different transition paths occurred by focus on the prior regime type, political society and civil society. Third, I analyze the prospects for democratic consolidation. First, I argue that Taiwan's transition was a top-down, regime controlled, slow, elite-dominated, and unilaterally imposed transition. Taiwan's transition was implemented from relatively strong and secure authoritarian regime rather than forced upon the regime by broad social mobilization. On the contrary, South Korean case was a bottom-up, mass ascendent, fast, and multilaterally compromised transition. Extensive popular mobilization from below forced the regime elite to make a compromise with the opposition. Second, I argue that Taiwan's transition was caused by the quasi-Leninist party-state with no prior democratic experience and the weak political and civil society, while South Korea's transition was caused by the military authoritarianism with prior democratic experiences and strong political and civil society. In Taiwan there was no opposition party and elections were limited to local levels. Moreover, civil society was deeply penetrated by the KMT and the labor class was further weakened by decentralized industrial structures. On the contrary, in South Korea opposition parties were legally allowed to function and the elections were regularly held under authoritarian regime. With prior democratic experience civil society was strong and the labor class was strengthened by the high degree of industrial concentration. Finally, following the path-dependent approach, I argue that the prospect for democratic consolidation is more complicated in Taiwan than in South Korea.
