Democracy In China
[ send
me this paper ]
A 12 page research paper dealing with the background and development of the
democracy movement in China which culminated in the student demonstrations of
1989 in Tiananmen Square. The writer concentrates on the book The Deng Xiaoping
Era by Maurice Meisner since this scholarly work gives an excellent overview of
the events, politically and culturally, which contributed to the development of
the movement. This paper demonstrates that with a thorough knowledge of the
background of the movement the rather inexplicable events of 1989 begin to make
sense within their own cultural framework. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
