This book will use thorough empirical research to criticize and expand the narrow understanding of civil society used in Chinese studies. Based on ethnographic research undertaken among activists in China and Taiwan, the book examines issues such as inequalities within civil society, mobilizatory skills needed for civil society activities, and technologies to maintain the boundary between the state and the society.
