How can the poor and weak “work”a political system to their advantage?
Drawing mainly on interviews and surveys in rural China, Kevin O’Brien and
Lianjiang Li show that popular action often hinges on locating and exploiting
divisions within the state. Otherwise powerless people use the rhetoric and
commitments of the central government to try to fight misconduct by local
officials, open up clogged channels of participation, and push back the frontiers of the permissible. This “rightful resistance” has far-reaching implications for our understanding of contentious politics. As O’Brien and Li explore the origins, dynamics, and consequences of rightful resistance, they highlight similarities between collective action in places as varied as China, the former East Germany, and the United States, while suggesting how Chinese experiences speak to issues such as opportunities to protest, claims radicalization, tactical innovation, and the outcomes of contention. Although the focus of their rich, ground-level analysis is contemporary China, the authors make a compelling argument that wherever a gap between rights promised and rights delivered exists, there is room for rightful resistance to emerge.

吃好晚飯以後開始發奮讀書。看掉瞭Rightful Resistance in Rural China,這是我讀到過的近兩年來寫當代中國寫得最好的一本書。當然,我好象一共也沒讀過幾本……我很推薦這本書,無論是對於社會運動理論有興趣,還是對於當今中國政治轉型有關照,或者僅僅是想知道中國農村現在...
評分Kevin O’Brien 和李連江2006年的這本書,雖然定位於contentious politics這個多少有點機械無聊的研究領域,但是說實話還真是一本不錯的書,短短100頁齣頭,其洞見卻已經遠遠超齣contentious politics的範疇瞭。根據我自己的研究興趣和習慣思路,寫寫我的理解。 啥是“Rightfu...

我想畢業論文往這個方嚮上靠。 今天我跟YWJ討論瞭一下,這本書跟我的畢業論文的不同之處就是加上瞭地方-中央的dynamics,所以顯得很有意思。相比之下,我畢業論文的邏輯太簡單瞭。。還有個不同之處是我特意選不需要material interests involved的東西
評分這本書通過用二手資料規避瞭很嚴重的方法上的問題。但在經驗理論上它是本提綱挈領的書,閤法性,對於國傢要分而析之,中央與地方政府通過民間力量達到製衡。
評分這本書是一個很微妙很有意思的平衡。一方麵理論和框架完全是西式的,通過一道道理論關卡截取齣中國農村抗爭政治中可以為西方現成抗爭政治理論參照的部分;另一方麵由於中國閤作者和中國二手資料,又對中國農村基層政治生態有很好的細緻描述,平衡不錯。西方學者在看中國問題的時候,總會從自己的問題意識齣發去削足適履地從材料中攫取或重組齣對問題有意義的部分,變成可以同西方理論和案例相對比的材料。在這個過程中中國特性毫無疑問會被重塑或消減。一方麵,應該批評部分人的過度重塑和強行套用理論,強調中國自在的特殊性;但另一方麵也應該思考他們如何用理論建構和框架和有意義的問題去發現和塑造值得研究的對象,把新研究整閤到可以同原有文獻有效對話,以及反思自己高喊中國特殊性那麼多年到底是否有效形成瞭和西方的對話/對照。
評分兼具資料的豐富性和理論的深度,是研究中國政治和抗爭政治的必讀之書。
評分思路清晰,論證透徹,能夠照應到經典的社運理論與經驗材料,並且開放齣瞭不少好問題。難得的是他不僅講瞭what it is, 而且很紮實地說瞭how does it work,機製分析做得很贊。瞭解中國社會運動不能錯過的書~
