Even as China is central to the contemporary global economy, its
socialist past continues to shape its capitalist present. This
volume's contributors see contemporary China as haunted by the
promises of capitalism, the institutional legacy of the Maoist
regime, and the spirit of Marxist resistance. China's development
does not result from historical imperatives or deliberate economic
strategies, but from the effects of discrete practices the
contributors call protocols, which stem from an overlapping mix of
socialist and capitalist institutional strategies, political
procedures, legal regulations, religious rituals, and everyday
practices. Analyzing the process of urbanization and the ways
marginalized communities and migrant workers are positioned in
relation to the transforming social landscape, the contributors
show how these protocols constitute the Chinese national imaginary
while opening spaces for new emancipatory possibilities. Offering a
nuanced theory of contemporary China's hybrid political economy,
Ghost Protocol situates China's development at the juncture between
the world as experienced and the world as imagined. Contributors.
