Review: The China Model: Political Meritocracy and the Limits of Democracy

The China Model: Political Meritocracy and the Limits of Democracy The China Model: Political Meritocracy and the Limits of Democracy by Daniel A. Bell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It has long been a generally accepted fact that we live in an era of crisis of liberal representative democracy. The China model is an attempt to analyze a political alternative to the classical Western democracy: a meritocratic system which is used for many years now in China by the ruling Communist Party. While the author himself recognizes the fact that it is highly doubtful for the Western population to accept any other system than 'one person - one vote' (even facing the dismayal incompetency of the democratically elected populists), this book could be a thought provoking insight into the alternative ways of political thinking, something that could become - who knows? - an escape from the current cul-de-sac of the Western electoral policies.
