Growing protests in non-democratic countries are often seen as
signals of regime decline. China, however, has remained stable amid
surging protests. Playing by the Informal Rules highlights the
importance of informal norms in structuring state-protester
interactions, mitigating conflict, and explaining regime
resilience. Drawing on a nationwide dataset of protest and
multi-sited ethnographic research, this book presents a bird's-eye
view of Chinese contentious politics and illustrates the uneven
application of informal norms across regions, social groups, and
time. Through examinations of protests and their distinct
implications for regime stability, Li offers a novel theoretical
framework suitable for monitoring the trajectory of political
contention in China and beyond. Overall, this study sheds new light
on political mobilization and authoritarian resilience and provides
fresh perspectives on power, rules, legitimacy, and resistance in
modern societies.
