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...

道理似乎並不復雜。無權的老百姓,利用央地關係的罅隙或者話語-實踐的落差,以子之矛,攻子之盾。用詞比較“講究”,但我覺得少用點高級單詞似乎也不會耽誤說理。。
評分隻粗略的看瞭一下大概,重點看瞭第一章。因為不是做這個領域的,在中國目前似乎也不大有做這個領域的空間。但這是一本經典書,值得讀,尤其是對寫作有很好的藉鑒,研究下作者是如何提齣一個新概念,並與原有概念進行比較,並將之作為普世的可以被其他現象使用的概念。
評分as long as “the bird of rule by law” has remained in the “cage of the party-state”, the Chinese rightful resistances are not necessarily successful.
評分贊一下從材料的那麼多內容中選齣瞭不少有意思又有很有理論關注的問題!
評分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
