China's Democratic Future: How It Will Happen and Where It Will Lead
Columbia University Press | 2004 | ISBN 0-231-13084-8 | English | PDF | 315 pages | 1 MB

This book is an optimistic prediction from a journalist with more than a decade's experience reporting for the Far Eastern Economic Review. Gilley argues, against Huntington's Clash of Civilizations, that China's culture is not alien to democratic possibilities and that democratization will result not from popular overthrow of the existing Communist one-party state but through gradual reform from above. He anticipates a "revolution in values" through which the elite will becomes more public-spirited and less self-interested.
