The Underbelly of the Rising Dragon: Civil Society and China’s Search for Security
Journal Title: İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Like most other countries, China’s security is inseparable from international and domestic affairs as well. For this reason it is necessary to examine the security issues of China through the lens of civil society — social forces distinct from the state and capital. This article aims to argue that China’s long-term security rests on its citizens’ social consciousness and their participation in public affairs, which are the core values of civil society. True to this reasoning, the authors highlight the virtue of a functioning civil society to China’s security and the pivotal role of intellectuals in making this possible.
