In Response to Social Change: The Contribution of Chinese Practices to the Transformation Theory
摘要
In recent centuries, many countries have experienced social changes. During periods of change, social conflicts have been a common phenomenon. Researchers have found that in some countries, social conflicts have not affected the formation of a new order, whereas other countries have found themselves in a constant state of social unrest. Researchers have long been interested in explaining the differences between the two. China’s 40-year process of reform and opening-up provided political sociologists with a rare case study, and it has continuously given them an opportunity to seek answers.
