Opis

Chinese civil society groups have achieved iconic policy advocacy successes in the areas of environmental protection, women’s rights, poverty alleviation, and public health. This book examines why some groups are successful in policy advocacy within the authoritarian context, while others fail.

Recenzje

'Overall, the book is a worthwhile attempt to change the field of Chinese civil society by explicitly incorporating cultural sociology into the agenda. It joins the emerging “cultural turn” in the field and stimulates further research along the line. I recommend it to researchers interested in civil society and Chinese politics.' - Bin Xu, Journal of Chinese Political Science
