A Study of the Stability of Contemporary Rural Chinese Society

Meer over het boek

Focusing on social conflicts in China since the 1990s, this final installment of a trilogy offers a deep comparative analysis of rural group contentions. The author explores the evolving goals, driving forces, and government strategies for maintaining stability amidst these conflicts. By introducing the concept of "vigor" from Chinese culture, the book seeks to bridge the gap between emotion and morality in political studies, advancing the discourse on contentious politics and rural societies while avoiding traditional academic divides.
