Nathan, Andrew J. The puzzle of the Chinese middle class, Journal of Democracy, April 2016, vol. 27, n° 2, p. 6-19. URL : http://weai.columbia.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Nathan-27-2.pdf …Andrew J. Nathan delivered the twelfth annual Seymour Martin Lipset Lecture on Democracy in the World on 20 October 2015 at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C.Seymour Martin Lipset, who passed away at the end of 2006, was one of the most influential social scientists and scholars of democracy of the past half-century. Lipset’s work covered a wide range of topics: the social conditions of democracy, including economic development and political culture; the origins of socialism, fascism, revolution, protest, prejudice, and extremism; class conflict, structure, and mobility; social cleavages, party systems, and voter alignments; and public opinion and public confidence in institutions. Lipset was a pioneer in the study of comparative politics, and no comparison featured as prominently in his work as that between the two great democracies of North America. Thanks to his insightful analysis of Canada in comparison with the United States, most fully elaborated in Continental Divide (1990), he has been dubbed the“Tocqueville of Canada.”Vidéo de l'intervention d'Andrew J.
