This book examines religious activism-Christianity, Buddhism, and
Taoism-in China, a powerful atheist state that provides one of the
hardest challenges to existing methods of transnational activism.
The author focuses on mechanisms used by three kinds of actors:
protesters, advocates and opportunists, and uses regional,
inter-faith, and international comparisons to understand why some
foreign advocates can enter China and engage in illegal aid and
missions to empower local activists, while the same groups cannot
conduct the same activities in another geographically, economically
and politically similar location. The stories in this book
demonstrate a more inclusive and bottom-up approach of
transnational activism; they challenge the conventional spiral
theory paradigm of human rights literature and the narrow views
about GONGOs in civil society literature. This new knowledge helps
to sustain a more optimistic view and offers an alternative way of
promoting human rights in China and countries with similar
authoritarian environments.
