About the Series
Six Perspectives of Chinese Modernization presents a systematic and multidimensional examination of Chinese modernization through six core lenses:
- World View
- Values
- Historical Outlook
- Civilization
- Democracy
- Eco-civilization
Together, the volumes offer a coherent theoretical framework for understanding the distinctive path, principles, and governance logic of Chinese modernization. The series emphasizes that modernization in China is not a single-track economic process, but a comprehensive transformation integrating governance systems, democratic practice, cultural and ethical development, ecological sustainability, and national governance capacity.
Several volumes focus on whole-process people’s democracy, explaining its role as an essential requirement of Chinese modernization. The books introduce China’s democratic practices, analyze the defining features and institutional advantages of socialist democracy in comparison with capitalist models, and illustrate how democratic development contributes to the modernization of governance systems and governance capacity.
From the perspectives of civilization and eco-civilization, the series explores how Chinese modernization contributes to a new form of human civilization and advances harmony between humanity and nature. The eco-civilization volume, in particular, examines sustainable development, governance institutions, and ecological modernization beyond traditional industrial civilization.
