“…The broad applicability of Q methodology has been widely demonstrated at the levels of culture, community (in both public and private sectors), and even the individual, wherever subjectivity is at issue. It has been used in decision and policy making (Addams and Proops 2000; Gargan and Brown 1993); in the clarification of perspectives among community stakeholders (Brown et al 2003); in the resolution of conflicts (Focht 2002); in business relations (Parris 1999;Potter 2003); in the elucidation of emergent and long-standing identities (Davis 1997;Dryzek and Holmes 2002;Robyn 2000); in journalistic practices (Bublic and Sitaraman 1998); in the examination of emergent political leadership (Tolymbek, forthcoming); and in the study of social attitudes and values from the cultural level to the level of the individual personality (Brown and Kil 2002;Salazar and Alper 2002).…”

“…In this regard, although entrepreneurs in this category comply with most of the official and unofficial requirements for conducting business, they may differ in their attitudes about these operational realities (Parris, 1999).

This article questions predictions about China’s democratic potential based on rising incomes in the private sector. For private entrepreneurs to constitute a democratizing force, structural theories expect two causal links: first, class formation; and second, collective action. This article examines national surveys of business owners, proposes a typology of entrepreneurs’ political behavior, and concludes that class formation has not occurred among private entrepreneurs. The absence of a common basis for identity and interaction challenges the hypothesis that China’s new capitalists might engage in collective action to demand democracy. Entrepreneurs should, thus, be examined at a lower level of abstraction rather than lumped into a catchall capitalist “middle class.” Taking into account the employment background, social networks, and local political conditions of people in apparently similarly situated groups is essential for explaining political dynamics in transitional contexts where the identities and interests of new economic actors are mediated by prereform experiences.
