Reihe: Understanding China

This book provides an in-depth empirical analysis of six core strategies in China's grassroots social governance. These strategies represent the essence of grassroots social governance in China, spanning community management, public services, conflict mediation, and mass participation. They embody the innovative spirit and pragmatic approach of the Chinese government in social governance. By empirically analyzing these strategies, the book unveils the unique advantages of China's grassroots social governance and its significance for global governance. It is an indispensable textbook, especially for courses on Chinese politics, social governance in China, and East Asian politics.
