The world is in disorder and liberal/western democracy is dying. Most of the studies and debates on liberal/western democracy in literature are centred around what goes wrong with liberal/western democracy and how to remedy it. However, there is little attention on oriental practice of democracy or viable alternative to liberal/western democracy. In this book, a study is made on ancient Chinese thinking and practice of democracy. It is found that the first democracy was born in China more than 4,000 years ago. As a result of the discovery, a practical framework called YaoShunism is formulated and presented. YaoShunism offers genuine non-partisan politics and participatory governance. It is backed by major Chinese philosophies and provides a viable alternative to existing political practice. It is shown that the entire world can benefit from YaoShunism if implemented. YaoShunism brings a reconciliation between western and eastern world, a consonance between western and eastern cultures and a reconnection between ancient wisdom and modern society.
