These four conceptual and critical essays on state and society in contemporary China argue vigorously against the grain of prevailing scholarly interpretation. In substantive content, they explore two major themes from different historical and theoretical points of departure.
First, the author argues that the party/state under Mao fell far short of the full control over China's peasant society that outside observers often assumed it had achieved. She shows, instead, how the Maoist state frequently pursued policies that in fact had the ironic effect of strengthening the resistance of rural communities against the central political apparatus. Second, she contends that once the true limitations on the Maoist state's power in rural areas are rightly understood, it becomes clear that one effect of the post-Mao economic and political reforms may be to enhance rather than to diminish the state's authority in the countryside — despite all the reformists' rhetoric to the contrary.
These essays on "how to think about the Chinese state" are designed to stimulate debate about assumptions and methods in the field of Chinese political analysis. The controversies they raise, however, make them highly relevant to scholars outside Chinese studies who are interested in theories of the state, in the interrelations of state and society, and in the fate of the peasantry under socialism.

前三十年的中国政治并不是简单的全能主义式,国家的触手并未能实现控制乡村,乡村社会呈现蜂窝状,乡村精英有一定的保护主义倾向,反而是改革开放后,地方政府公司化让政府之手伸得更远。其实,这个研究和卢晖临的研究本质上有些类似性,并且卢晖临做得更好。
评分国家与社会关系、“过程”取向。三种方法论。
评分前三十年的中国政治并不是简单的全能主义式,国家的触手并未能实现控制乡村,乡村社会呈现蜂窝状,乡村精英有一定的保护主义倾向,反而是改革开放后,地方政府公司化让政府之手伸得更远。其实,这个研究和卢晖临的研究本质上有些类似性,并且卢晖临做得更好。
评分在本书的第三章对于国家渗透的状况进行了精彩的分析,也是全书最大的亮点。对于打破我们对于1949-1980时代中国的偏见大有裨益。其他部分感觉一般。
评分文笔好好……居然可以把political economy写得这么有文采orz
