Summary Summary This article examines the political origins, content and impact of China's post?Mao economic reforms and argues that while they may well lead towards a more ‘pluralistic’ political process along corporatist ‘lines’, we cannot assume that they will lead automatically to more wide?ranging political democratisation. Resumen Resumen ¿El estado leninista bajo amenaza? La política de las reformas económicas en China Este artículo examina los orígenes políticos, el contenido y el impacto de las reformas económicas posteriores a Mao y sostiene que aun cuando ellas bien pueden derivar en un proceso político más ‘pluralista’ junto a ‘líneas’ corporatistas, no se puede suponer que conducirán automáticamente a una democratización de más vasto alcance.
