Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Introduces the concept of rightful resistance and explains how it operates in rural China. Focusing on ways in which the powerless work a political system by exploiting the gap between rights promised and rights delivered, the authors highlight how evidence from China and social movement theory can speak to each other. They also consider the mixture of top-down reform and social pressure that is changing China, and ask: does reform have some way to go, or is the engine for change becoming rightful resistance and more disruptive forms of contention?

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - How can the poor and weak 'work' a political system to their advantage Drawing mainly on interviews and surveys in rural China, Kevin O'Brien and Lianjiang Li show that popular action often hinges on locating and exploiting divisions within the state. Otherwise powerless people use the rhetoric and commitments of the central government to try to fight misconduct by local officials, open up clogged channels of participation, and push back the frontiers of the permissible. This 'rightful resistance' has far-reaching implications for our understanding of contentious politics. As O'Brien and Li explore the origins, dynamics, and consequences of rightful resistance, they highlight similarities between collective action in places as varied as China, the former East Germany, and the United States, while suggesting how Chinese experiences speak to issues such as opportunities to protest, claims radicalization, tactical innovation, and the outcomes of contention.
