Author Description

A deep dive into China's evolving social landscape during its period of rapid transition. This scholarly work by Zhu Li, translated by Chen Shuangzhou, examines the unprecedented social problems that have emerged alongside China's economic reforms. It seeks to construct a localized social theory to understand, explain, and solve these issues, focusing on how Chinese society can navigate this challenging period. Drawing from 21 journal articles, the author provides methodologies for studying social problems, explores the mechanisms of social anomie, categorizes economic and security conflicts, and introduces theories such as the social structure box and combustion-supporting net. This book offers invaluable insights for scholars and professionals interested in contemporary Chinese social dynamics and policy.
