Distribution of Power and Rewards Proceedings of the International Conference on Democracy and Social Justice

This volume records the proceedings of a 1988 conference on democracy and social justice as they have evolved in the United States and, comparatively, in Taiwan and on the Chinese mainland. Further themes include lessons of Sun Yat-senism in action in Taiwan, socialist democratic reforms on the Chinese mainland, and the search for paradigms of endogenous democratization. The fundamental question of whether democracy and social justice can thrive within the historical and contemporary Sinic cultural systems that abound across the face of Asia is frequently addressed here. Co-published with the Contemporary U.S.-Asia Research Institute.
