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.
Discussion of the "Chinese Model" abounds with the rise of China.
This volume analyzes the Chinese case in a theoretical framework,
provides an evolutionary perspective, and compares it with other
models of development. Instead of focusing on one specific case,
the book's contributors shed light on the application of theories
of international relations, comparative politics, and development
studies to the topic under deliberation. This book reflects that
the "uniqueness" of the Chinese model should also be put in an
historical and evolutionary context. It also provides insights into
comparisons with other models of development, such as the East
Asian model and experiences of the former Soviet Union. The authors
in the book argue that while globalization constrains state power,
it may also open new windows of accommodation and adjustments.
Linkages between the domestic dynamics of development and external
forces of change become pertinent in understanding the Chinese
models of development.
