Although contemporary China is a repressive state, protests and
demonstrations have increased almost tenfold between 2005 and 2015.
This is an astounding statistic when one considers that
Marxist-Leninist regimes of the past tolerated little or no public
dissent. How can protests become more common as the state becomes
more repressive? This collection helps to answer this compelling
question through in-depth analyses of several Chinese protest
movements and state responses. The chapters examine the
opportunities and constraints for protest mobilization, and
explains their importance for understanding contemporary Chinese
society.
