When it comes to talking about democracy in China, Chinese nationalists argue that it cannot solve China's problems, while Chinese liberals remain unduly silenced. But China is facing a national identity crisis, compounded by Tibet and Taiwan, where significant proportions of both populations do not identify with the Chinese nation-state. Could democracy realistically address the problems in China’s national identity? Baogang He opens up a dialogue in which Chinese liberals can offer viable alternatives in defence of key democratic principles and governance. He upholds the search for a political space in which democratic governance in China can feasibly be developed.
Baogang He is Head of Public Policy and Global Affairs at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and Chair in International Studies at Deakin University, Australia. He is the author of numerous books, including: The Democratization of China (New York and London: Routledge, 1996), The Democratic Implication of Civil Society in China (London: Macmillan, New York: St. Martin, 1997), Nationalism, National Identity and Democratization in China (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2000, with Yingjie Guo), Rural Democracy in China (Palgrave 2007), Multiculturalism in Asia (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005, co-editors with Will Kymlicka) and The Search for Deliberative Democracy (NY: Palgrave, 2006, co-editors with Ethan Leib). He also contributed to The Edinburgh Companion to the History of Democracy, which EUP published in 2012. He received the Mayer prize from the APSA in 1994; five ARC (Australian Research Council) Discovery Grants, and numerous grants from the Fulbright Commission, the Ford Foundation, and the National University of Singapore (amounting to a total of about AU $1,250,000). Professor He is a member of the editorial board of more than ten international refereed journals, and is an assessor for the ARC Professorial Fellowship and ERA in Australia.
