• Sommario/riassunto: Based on original fieldwork, 'The Sinews of State Power' seeks to understand continuous rural instability in China despite national reforms in the post-2000s. It offers a fresh perspective by revisiting the fundamental components of a capable government - a coherent and robust local leadership - and tracing its rise and demise since the Maoist era.
