This book focuses on the use of guanxi (Chinese personal
connections) in everyday urban life: in particular, how and why
people develop different types of social capital in their guanxi
networks and the role of guanxi in school choice. Guanxi takes on a
special significance in Chinese societies, and is widely-discussed
and intensely-studied phenomenon today. In recent years in China,
the phenomenon of parents using guanxi to acquire school places for
their children has been frequently reported by the media, against
the background of the Chinese Communist Party's crackdown on
corruption. From a sociological perspective, this book reveals how
and why parents manage to do so. Ritual capital refers to an
individual's ability to use ritual to benefit and gain resources
from guanxi.
