Recenzje

'The Transformation of Governance in Rural China is an excellent, comprehensive, and thorough analysis of the impact of marketization and economic reforms on rural governance in China. This is a timely study because the steady rise of rural collective violence calls into question the regime's governing capacity in the vast Chinese countryside.' Jin Zeng, Journal of Chinese Political Science
