Hegemonic Transformation

This book contends that the Chinese economic reform inaugurated since 1978 has been a top-down passive revolution, in Gramsci's term, and that after three decades of reform the role of the Chinese state has been changing from steering the passive revolution through coercive tactics to establishing capitalist hegemony.

Aceasta carte sustine ca reforma economica chineza inaugurata din 1978 a fost o revolutie pasiva de sus in jos, in termenul lui Gramsci, si ca, dupa trei decenii de reforma, rolul statului chinez s-a schimbat de la conducerea revolutiei pasive prin tactici coercitive la stabilirea hegemonie capitalista.
