讲座摘要：

 

It is from the perspective of the hypothesis of a correlation between economic development and social democratization that we will address the question of liberalism in China. The problem in itself is not new. The French Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire is perhaps the first one to articulate it clearly when he said in 1733: "Le commerce, qui a enrichi les citoyens en Angleterre, a contribué à les rendre libres, et cette liberté a étendu lecommerce à son tour". But the fact that it focuses now on China is relatively new - and obviously understandable regarding the place of Chinese economy in the world today as well as the specificity of its institutions comparing to South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. The aim of the lecture is not to try to address the problem whether the resistance to "democratization" (not simply in terms of electoral system but more largely in terms of free empowerment of civil society) in China constitutes a contradiction to the liberal paradigm. The aim of this lecture is to address the pertinence of the question itself – and to attempt to provide an overview and if possible a conceptual evaluation of the possible answers that can be given to this problem.
