Non-institutional Political Participation

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores non-institutional political participation, categorizing it into induced and imposed types, which challenges traditional views of political engagement as merely legal or illegal. It delves into the dynamics of Chinese peasant interests and the evolving relationships between authority and political involvement during a transformative period in rural China. By analyzing changing interest structures and control mechanisms, the author proposes a model of political participation that emphasizes mutual benefits among stakeholders.
