内容説明
Two sharply contrasting views of China exist today. On the one hand a rising superpower predicted to have the largest economy in the world by mid century, on the other hand a brutal, anachronistic and authoritarian regime, a threat to geo-stability and to the economies of the industrial world. So which China is the real China? Randall Peerenboom addresses this question by exploring China's economy, political and legal system, and most controversially, its record on civil, political and personal rights in the context of the developing world. Avoiding polemic and relying on empirical evidence, he compares China's performance not with first world countries such as the US and UK but with other middle income countries and highlights the often hypocritical stance of an international community which demands standards from others that it does not match at home. He also critically evaluates the benefits of globalisation and democratisation and the normative values of the West set against Beijing's determination to retain its cultural and political integrity. This book seeks to bridge the gap in understanding about China and to create a firmer foundation for mutual trust, while recognising that there are inevitable risks in a shift in global power of this magnitude that will require hard headed pragmatism at times where interests collide.

Provocative but Overly Apologetic
2010/11/29
形式:ペーパーバック
In an attempt to go against the grain of Western public opinion, Peerenboom's work often sounds like a nuanced apologia for the shortcomings of the Chinese government (party and state) than of a detached intellectual view. Much of the premise of this book seems to be that human rights are contingent on the level of economic development and social stability in a country. While this may seem reasonable on the surface, some of Peerenbloom's claims are Panglossian. The author's remarks on the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) could have been published by the Information Office of the Chinese Communist Party. He severely understates the level of oppression in Tibet in particular and views cultural destruction as something of a non-issue.
I gave this book three stars because it does bring up some valid arguments about the importance of considering the economic and sociocultural context of a country when looking at such things like human rights. Peerenboom is right to highlight some of the areas where China has made progress and to marshal evidence against reflexive China-bashers. However, in some areas his conclusions are questionable and biased in favor of presenting China in a positive light.
