'State and Society in 21st-Century China is an anthology of
excellent articles.' - International Affairs'This is a very good
book. The collection not only has state-of-the-field authority but
also conveys the complexity of issues by unpacking the terms
"state" and "society", providing an effective and encompassing view
of the sources of contention in Chinese society and politics and
the relationships between the two.' - The China Journal'By building
on emerging studies that offer a rethinking of the analytical
categories by which scholars understand China, this book makes a
significant contribution to China studies in particular and to
comparative politics more broadly.' - China Review
