    Abstract

    This is probably the first attempt to design a series of indicators to examine the democratization process in China and compare this process with the situation in recognized liberal democracies and with those in other developing countries. After the 2010 exercise to assess the situation in 2009, the exercise was repeated again in 2011 to evaluate the progress of democratization in 2010. If this examination takes place at regular intervals, one may hope to have a better understanding of the progress of democratization in China and its various significant aspects. © 2013 Copyright City University of Hong Kong.
