The People’s Republic of China has experienced numerous
challenges and undergone tremendous structural changes over the
past four decades. The party-state now faces a fundamental tension
in its pursuit of social stability and regime durability.
Repressive state strategies enable the Chinese Communist Party to
maintain its monopoly on political power, yet the quality of
governance and regime legitimacy are enhanced when the state adopts
more inclusive modes of engagement with society. Based on a dynamic
typology of state–society relations, this volume adopts an
evolutionary framework to examine how the Chinese state relates
with non-state actors across several fields of governance. Drawing
on original fieldwork, the authors identify areas in which
state–society interactions have shifted over time, ranging from
more constructive engagement to protracted conflict. This
evolutionary approach provides nuanced insight into the
circumstances wherein the party-state exerts its coercive power
versus engaging in more flexible responses or policy adaptations.
