This volume, written by experienced scholars, explores a range of grassroots efforts--initiated by the state and society alike--to restrain corrupt behavior and enhance the accountability of local authorities. While the authors offer varying views on the larger significance of these developments, their case studies point to a more dynamic Chinese political system than is often acknowledged.Harvard contemporary China series ;14.Political participationChinaLocal governmentChinaProtest movementsChinaChinaPolitics and government1949-Electronic books.Political participationLocal governmentProtest movements320.951MH 50086rvkPerry Elizabeth J126366Goldman Merle283436MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455120203321Grassroots political reform in contemporary China2472725UNINA03950oam 2200985 c 450 991031523360332120260302090207.09783839413746383941374510.14361/transcript.9783839413746(CKB)3460000000132727(EBL)1914645(SSID)ssj0001345239(PQKBManifestationID)11949937(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001345239(PQKBWorkID)11328753(PQKB)11584594(MiAaPQ)EBC1914645(DE-B1597)395995(OCoLC)885020733(OCoLC)892891746(DE-B1597)9783839413746(MiAaPQ)EBC6695182(Au-PeEL)EBL6695182(OCoLC)1042087543(ScCtBLL)2ce10bd0-8ba5-41bc-82e6-c117bbea00a2(transcript Verlag)9783839413746(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/32792(Perlego)1796859(oapen)doab32792(EXLCZ)99346000000013272720260302h20142010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCreative Networks and the CityTowards a Cultural Political Economy of Aesthetic ProductionBas van Heur1st ed.Bielefeldtranscript Verlag20142014, c20101 online resource (233 p.)Urbane Welten - Texte zur kulturwissenschaftlichen Stadtforschung3Description based upon print version of record.9783837613742 3837613747 Includes bibliographical references.1 CONTENTS 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 9 1.

CONCLUDING COMMENTS 191 REFERENCES 201This book offers a fundamental contribution to the literature on the creative industries and the knowledge-based economy by focusing on three aspects: urban spaces as key sites of capitalist restructuring, creative industries' policies as state technologies aimed at economic exploitation, and the role of networks of aesthetic production in inflecting these tendencies. It simultaneously goes beyond these debates by integrating a concern with the cultural and aesthetic dimensions of the creative industries. As such, the book is relevant to researchers interested in the transdisciplinary project of a cultural political economy of creativity and urban change.Cityscapes, texts in cultural urban studies.van Heur, Creative NetworksTowards a Cultural Political Economy of Aesthetic ProductionUrbanCityPolicyEconomyCultureCreativityUrbanityUrban StudiesCultural IndustryCultural GeographyCultural StudiesSociologyUrbanCityPolicyEconomyCultureCreativityUrbanityUrban StudiesCultural IndustryCultural GeographyCultural StudiesSociology338.47306091732van Heur Bas<p>Bas van Heur, Maastricht University, Niederlande</p>aut329542Knowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2018: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910315233603321Creative networks and the city2835411UNINA
