Abstract

The decade of popular Chinese protest that close with the Beijing massacre in 1989 never culminated in a movement devoted to creating democratic institutions. The A. uses the Chinese case to examine how elite-mass conflict within the opposition can keep a democracy movement from developing. It compares the Chinese case with instance of democratization in eastern Europe and Latin America in order to identify the conditions that make the transition from broad-based protest to a democracy movement possible.
