Some Asian political leaders and Western academics have recently claimed that China is unlikely to produce an open political system. This claim rests on the idea that Confucian culture” provides an alternative to Western civil values, and that China lacked the democratic traditions and even the horizontal institutions of trust that could build a civil society. An opposed school of thought is far more optimistic about democracy, because it sees market economies of the kind China has begun to foster as pushing inexorably against authoritarian political control and reproducing Western patterns of change. Alternate Civilities argues for a different set of political possibilities. By comparing China with Taiwan’s new and vibrant democracy, it shows how democracy can grow out of Chinese cultural roots and authoritarian institutions. The business organizations, religious groups, environmental movements, and women’s networks it examines do not simply reproduce Western values and institutions. These cases point to the possibility of an alternate civility, neither the stubborn remnant of an ancient authoritarian culture, nor a reflex of market economics. They are instead the active creation of new solutions to the problems of modern life.

评分第五章
评分试图找出中国社会组织的研究中除civil society和corporatism之外的第三条路。对于前者的批评很在理，即公民社会的概念发展自启蒙的个人主义，以理性个人（公民）为基础，导致关于社会组织的研究侧重formal groups而忽视informal social ties。而在权威国家中informal ties才能为社会资本提供基础，因为其informal，所以难以被权威国家收编或取缔。本书是说如果要民主化这些组织会形成一种不同模式的民主，然而所有这类弱者武器式的研究都依赖于“待天下有变”的可能，这些武器本身却不能促成这个变化。但这个可能在未来会变得越来越无意义。另一方面对社团主义的批评不如对公民社会的批评深刻和有说服力，尤其是在社会组织本身组织形式不是民主的前提下。
