جودة الحكم في النظم غير الديمقراطية : النظام الصيني نموذجا

Abstract EN

This paper aims to understand, explain, and analyze the quality of governance in non-democratic regimes.

Much of Western literature stresses that the only path for improving the governance quality is achieving democracy; however, this study proposes that explanation the quality of governance in non-democratic regimes follows a different perspective.

In this vein, the main research question is: under what circumstances can the governance quality in non-democratic systems happen? The paper assumes that the governance quality in non-democratic regimes required the presence of two factors: state capacity (bureaucratic-extractive-providing public services and goods) and regime willingness for quality of governance (pragmatic and moral motivations).

The study applied this analytic framework to China as a case study.

And it concluded that the Chinese regime's success in improving the quality of governance is due to its fulfillment of the two conditions since 1978.
