The authors examine three key areas of domestic change and policy adaptation: social welfare provision, local political institutional reform, and social and environmental consequences of major infrastructure projects. Demonstrating remarkable parallels between the immediate post-Qing era and the recent phase of Chinese reform since the late-1990s, the book highlights common challenges to the political leadership by tracing dynamics of state activism in crafting new social space and terms of engagement for problem-solving and exploring social forces that continue to undermine the centralizing impetus of the state. 606 $aAsia?Politics and government 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aChina?History 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aAsian Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911110 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33000 606 $aHistory of China$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 607 $aChina$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aChina$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aChina$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aChina$xSocial conditions$y2000- 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y21st century 607 $aChina$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aAsia?Politics and government. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aChina?History. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aAsian Politics. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aHistory of China. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a320.95 702 $aBlanchard$b Jean-Marc$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLin$b Kun-Chin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148753903321 996 $aGovernance, Domestic Change, and Social Policy in China$92205564 997 $aUNINA
