At the same time, it makes a very interesting and innovative argument that scholars of globalization, democratization, and political development will want to read . . . the theoretical argument is original, thought-provoking, well-argued, and interesting, and offers a very pointed challenge to conventional wisdom. The way Lynch talks about China is brilliant." -- Shelley Rigger, Davidson College " (The book) is magisterial. Because it encompasses so much and challenges so much, its theses will be debated. The book will prod people to do review essays and hold symposia. In short, it is a very important work. This is superb scholarship." -- Edward Friedman, University of Wisconsin-Madison |

| Publisher Description: This book argues that states democratize through a process of socialization to a liberal global culture. This can be seen in Taiwan and Thailand, whereas in China the Communist party resists democratization. |
