The recent rise in reported public security issues in China is one
of the most repeated concerns amongst the Chinese authorities.
During the past 30 years of reform in China, stability maintenance
as a governance strategy has in fact laid a solid foundation for
the overall development and growth of the nation. However, it
remains to be seen whether this approach can sustain economic
growth as well as political stability in the near future. This book
examines this policy of stability maintenance, as adopted by the
Chinese government, in different social circumstances. Using a
variety of examples, including hospital disputes, incidents of
environmental pollution, food safety issues and disaster
settlements, it takes a multi-disciplinary approach, using
empirical data to assess the true picture of contentious politics
in China. Although stability maintenance has played a major role in
confronting many of the serious challenges posed to China's public
security, ultimately, the book concludes that as a governance
strategy it can only be short-term and will surely be replaced, due
to its high costs. Using case studies from across China, this book
will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese Studies,
Political Science and Sociology. It will also appeal to journalists
and policy analysts with an interest in Chinese politics and
society.
