Chinese citizens are far from docile, and regularly and
vociferously rise up in collective protest. In some cases they have
successfully applied pressure, forcing political and economic
elites to satisfy their demands. In others, they have been brutally
suppressed. More often than not, however, the results have been
mixed. This Handbook explores individual and collective acts of
protest and resistance in China since 1989, examining their key
unifying underlying themes and their effect on relations between
the government and society. Featuring twenty-nine chapters of
original research from top scholars, this Handbook spans the broad
range of protest and resistance in contemporary China. Its coverage
of popular contention related to labour, land, the environment,
nationalism, home ownership, information and communication
technologies, the law, religion, Hong Kong and ethnic minority
groups illuminates the complexity and diversity of citizen actions.
The Handbook of Protest and Resistance in China suggests that while
these protests and acts of resistance might threaten the ruling
Chinese Communist Party, in order to strengthen and legitimise the
Party's rule governing authorities best course of action may be to
allow space for citizens to air their grievances, and to prioritise
the resolution of complaints. This Handbook will be an invaluable
resource for scholars and graduate students of Chinese and
comparative politics, as well as for policy makers and interested
readers seeking up to date data on protest and resistance in China,
and to better understand the problems and perspectives of Chinese
citizens.
