China continues to transform apace, flowing from the forces of
deregulation, privatization and globalization unleashed by economic
reforms which began in late 1978. The dramatic scope of economic
change in China is often counterposed to the apparent lack of
political change as demonstrated by continued Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) rule. However, the ongoing dominance of the CCP belies
the fact that much has also changed in relation to practices of
government, including how authorities and citizens interact in the
management of daily life. New Mentalities of Government in China
examines how the privatization and professionalization of 'public'
service provision is transforming the nature of government and
everyday life in the People's Republic of China (PRC). The book
addresses key theoretical questions on the nature of government in
China and documents the emergence of a range of 'new mentalities of
government' in China. Its chapters focus on areas such as clinical
trials, conceptualizing government, consumer activity, elite
philanthropy, lifestyle and beauty advice, public health, social
work, volunteering; and urban and rural planning. Offering a
topical examination of shifting modes of governance in contemporary
China, this book will appeal to scholars in the fields of
anthropology, history, politics and sociology.
