Book Description
All societies face a key question: how to empower governments to perform essential functions while constraining the arbitrary exercise of power. This balance, always in flux, is particularly fluid in today's China. This insightful book examines the changing relationship between China's party-state and its society, as demonstrated by numerous reform efforts at subnational levels, and explores the implications for China as well as the rest of the world.
