Abstract

In late 1988 and early 1989, mainland China's intellectuals engaged in heated debates in which the major theme was the necessity and feasibility of no-authoritarianism. After demonstrating how neo-authoritarianism stood out as an alternative policy in the face of socio-economic problems of the 1980s in this country, the authors probe into the intellectual origin and basic precepts of neo-authoritarian theory and its inevitable failure in mainland China's political development.
