Neoauthoritarianism (Chinese: 新权威主义; pinyin: xīn quánwēi zhǔyì) is a current of political thought within the People's Republic of China (PRC), and to some extent the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), that advocates a powerful centralized state to facilitate market reforms.[1]
The concept of liberal democracy led to intense debate between democratic advocates and neoauthoritarians[2] prior to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.[3]
Its origin was based in reworked ideas of Samuel Huntington, who advised the post-Communist East European elite to take a gradualist approach towards market liberalization; hence, "new authoritarianism". A rejection of the optimistic views on modernization theories,[4] it seeks faster reform of the socialist market economy[5] while the party remain ideologically and organizationally sound.[4]
