Strikes, protests, and riots by Chinese workers have been rising
over the past decade. The state has addressed a number of
grievances, yet has also come down increasingly hard on civil
society groups pushing for reform. Why are these two seemingly
clashing developments occurring simultaneously? Manfred Elfstrom
uses extensive fieldwork and statistical analysis to examine both
the causes and consequences of protest. The book adopts a holistic
approach, encompassing national trends in worker-state relations,
local policymaking processes and the dilemmas of individual
officials and activists. Instead of taking sides in the old debate
over whether non-democracies like China's are on the verge of
collapse or have instead found ways of maintaining their power
indefinitely, it explores the daily evolution of autocratic rule.
While providing a uniquely comprehensive picture of change in
China, this important study proposes a new model of bottom-up
change within authoritarian systems more generally.
