This volume investigates the evolving dynamics of social conflict and state-society relations in contemporary China amidst rapid economic and political reform. Edited by Elizabeth J. Perry and Mark Selden, the text compiles contributions from leading scholars who analyze how various social groups—ranging from laborers and rural residents to religious practitioners—navigate, contest, and adapt to state policies. The authors utilize a multidisciplinary framework to assess whether institutional mechanisms are sufficient to manage the rising tide of grassroots resistance.
