With the development of the Chinese economy, a new group of middle wage earners appeared. Chinese social scientists and state institutions promoted the idea that China needs a middle class to achieve modernization. Middle class members are defined"and define themselves"as good consumers, educated people, politically engaged but reasonable citizens. As such, the making of the middle class is the result of three convergent phenomena: an attempt to define the middle class, a process of civilization, and the development of protest movements. The making of the Chinese middle class, Rocca argues, is a way to end the stalemate that modern Chinese society is facing, in particular the necessity to democratize without introducing an election system 000778990 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed February 7, 2017) 000778990 650_0 $$aMiddle class$$zChina. 000778990 830_0 $$aCERI series in international relations and political economy. 000778990 852__ $$bebk 000778990 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-39339-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000778990 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:778990$$pGLOBAL_SET 000778990 980__ $$aEBOOK 000778990 980__ $$aBIB 000778990 982__ $$aEbook 000778990 983__ $$aOnline 000778990 994__ $$a92$$bISE
