'State and Society in 21st-Century China is an anthology of excellent articles.' -International Affairs
'This is a very good book. The collection not only has state-of-the-field authority but also conveys the complexity of issues by unpacking the terms "state" and "society", providing an effective and encompassing view of the sources of contention in Chinese society and politics and the relationships between the two.' - The China Journal
'By building on emerging studies that offer a rethinking of the analytical categories by which scholars understand China, this book makes a significant contribution to China studies in particular and to comparative politics more broadly.'
