This book explores the petition(信访), a political system with Chinese characteristics. It is an important form of political participation for people at the bottom and an effective means of supervising officials at the grassroots level for the higher-level government. Through a half-year fieldwork of the Public Security Bureau, the author found that the operational logic of the petition seems to be different from the past, and it is the change of petition logic that leads to the dilemma that “the cost of petitioning is reduced but the road of rights safeguarding is narrowed,” or in other words, it's easier to make a petition but harder to succeed for those who are truly wronged. This book based on the grassroots of China's legal system is worth reading for those that are interested in studying police and petition as well as political sociology and organizational sociology.

Exploring the gap between the contemporary policy regime and its implementation in national broadcasters and streaming services, taking into account the interplay between broadcasters, political bodies, producers and audiences, Zhu explains the contemporary role of Chinese national broadcasters in mediating the public discourse, the collective reimagining of China’s national identity, and the newly-found policy initiative of using state media as a means of nation branding.

This volume explores the implications of pluralism for international order. Distinguished contributors from around the world offer insights into the character of a pluralistic world order. They focus especially on the manifestations of international pluralism in great power relations, multilateralism, and regionalism. Contributors examine the myriad challenges a pluralistic world order will face in the years ahead, yet they eschew alarmist conclusions. There is still scope for the great powers to better manage their relations, and equally important, much space for multilateralism and regionalism to play their increasingly important roles in stabilizing world order. Distinctive in bringing the themes of pluralism and world order together in both theoretical exposition and policy discussion, this book offers a stimulating reading for scholars and practitioners of world politics.

This book explores the roles of land and housing in the China economic development. The real estate sector in China has two opposite effects on the urban economy. On one hand, it provides funds for urban development and on the other hand, its excessive expansion would depress the urban growth. To balance the two effects, the governments try to adjust their regulation policies dynamically. These policies to a great extent determine the rise and fall of urban economy. This book is divided in to four parts. The first part elaborates the relationship between the real estate sector and urban economy and explains the mechanism of the former’s impact on the later. The second part investigates the interaction of the real estate sector and the industrial sector and the consequences. The third part discusses the real estate tax reform and the affordable housing system. At the last part, I discuss the prospect of China real estate economy through the case of Evergrand’s debt crisis. The real estate sector is an essential part of China’s model of economic development, so this book will interest those readers who want to know the Chinese miracle of growth.

This book explores the changes in the degree of toughness of China’s foreign policy choices in bilateral international disputes over the period from 1992 to 2022. Chinese popular nationalism, due to its considerable social mobilization capacity, may have the potential to influence the Chinese government's foreign policy choices through a bottom-up approach, especially in the context of the Chinese government's increasing reliance on nationalism for its regime legitimacy. The author establishes an analytical framework for China’s foreign policy choices in bilateral disputes, emphasising the influence of three factors: China’s perception of the importance of the bilateral relations, its perception of the priority of the interests involved in the dispute, and its perception of the severity of the dispute. Through a series of case studies, the author demonstrates that the influence of Chinese popular nationalism on government policy is limited. This book offers fascinating insights for policymakers, journalists and scholars.

This book offers a sweeping yet incisive account of how China has navigated world politics from the late Qing dynasty to the Xi Jinping era. Moving beyond single-factor explanations, the book reveals that China’s strategic choices have always been shaped by a dynamic interplay of three factors: security, development, and ideology. Through historical cases and contemporary analysis, it explains how the Chinese political leadership understood their interests, and reveals that ideological factors played a more decisive role in the making of Chinese foreign policy when China was economically and institutionally isolated from the international society, whereas deep engagement and economic interdependency reinforced diplomatic pragmatism. It concludes that China’s foreign policy under President Xi Jinping remains fundamentally anchored in security and development imperatives, and is therefore more pragmatic than widely assumed. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of international relations, Chinese politics, diplomatic history, and the evolving dynamics of great-power competition.

Guangdong, located in South China, and its core area, the Pearl River Delta, have become the most vibrant hub of innovation in China. This book traces Guangdong's journey from its successful rise as the "world factory" at the end of the 20th century to its current status as China's center for innovative industries, revealing the internal mechanisms of the "black box" of how the Chinese economy gained the innovation advantage. The book summarizes Guangdong's development experience as a "bottom-up" innovation model, where in the stages of factor-driven, investment-driven, and innovation-driven development, companies’ strategies of technology and innovation strategies align with and mutually reinforce local governments’ industrial and development policies, collectively creating an upward-spreading innovation network and system that forms a unique regional economic growth engine. The book's discussion on technology learning strategies, absorptive capacity, dynamic capabilities, R&D investment, innovation platforms, innovation ecosystems, and regional innovation policies holds valuable reference for government officials, corporate executives, business scholars, economists, and journalists.

This book explores China’s evolving role in Afghanistan—past, present, and future. Following the chaotic U.S. withdrawal in August 2021 after two decades of intervention, China emerged as the most significant regional power capable of shaping the country’s future under Taliban rule. What are China’s objectives in post-withdrawal Afghanistan? How does it intend to project influence and manage security risks? To answer these questions, the book traces the historical evolution of China’s Afghanistan policy, offering both theoretical insight and empirical analysis. It highlights how Beijing’s approach is driven by the goals of amity, security, and influence. This timely study offers a nuanced understanding of China’s foreign policy and will be essential reading for scholars of Asian politics, geopolitics, and the emerging regional order in Central and South Asia.

Urban segregation caused by housing differentiation has always been a hot issue of urban development, especially in the period of rapid urbanization in China. Drawing upon housing mixed neighborhoods as the platform, the concept of housing mix has been prevalent as a policy intervention to foster an inclusive urbanization. This book endeavors to root the theoretical propositions underpinning housing mix in the Chinese context. It follows the trajectory of housing mix policies in urban China and roots its practices of housing mixed neighborhoods in the Shenzhen city as a case study. In an era of transformation from exclusionary housing to inclusionary housing in China, this book contributes to valuable insights for promoting a more inclusive urban settlement through housing mix intervention.

This book examines the contributory role of inclusive housing management services in safeguarding the living environment, empowering neighborhoods, sustaining lovable home, building social capital, fostering community wellbeing and social sustainability from the perspective of the sociology of housing. By repositioning professional housing management as an important driving force in community building, this book argues that the community-initiated inclusive housing management model has been acting as a cornerstone in enhancing a sense of belonging, cultural renewal, environmental sustainability, social integration and community cohesion particularly in cities with high density and compact development. This case study in Hong Kong will make an important contribution to interdisciplinary research in urban sociology, business management, community development, leadership building and environmental health. This study also contributes to the international literature on the dynamics of neighborhood and community governance by addressing the concrete local community initiatives and collaborative management practices in meeting the ever-changing environmental, social and health risks in Hong Kong and beyond. It will be of value to scholars researching on housing management and inclusive community building in world cities globally.

This book offers an in-depth analysis of China’s drive for common prosperity from an insider’s perspective. While philosophers and economists have long debated issues of inequality and growth, and societies have evolved from industrial to post-industrial information economies, challenges related to poverty and inequality persist. Major European nations have transitioned from early capitalist societies to modern welfare states, yet similar issues remain unresolved. Professor Zheng Yongnian provides a unique insight into China’s approach to addressing these challenges through the lens of common prosperity. Drawing on newly published materials and empirical research, this book contrasts China's development model with Western welfare states, elucidating both the rationale behind and the implications of these differences. This translated version of Professor Zheng’s recent work, 共同富裕的中国方案 (originally published in Chinese), is an essential read for scholars and policymakers seeking to understand China’s strategy for achieving common prosperity.

The admiration of science and technology and the emphasis on political stability are two sides of the same coin in China. Therefore, China is more likely to take aggressive measures to promote or inhibit platform development than the United States and the European Union. But the uncertainty in the decision-making process is worrisome and calls for a broader discussion of the multiple political consequences of technology.
