Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This book explores the geographies of (in-)security for ordinary Chinese. It advocates for a critical examination of the geography of Chinese school violence, arguing that schools are not simply containers for state policy but active channels through which spatial securitization and everyday violence converge. By analyzing the pervasive fear in schools, the analysis unravels the spatial dimensions of violenceits landscape, continuum, and social support networks. The narrative then shifts to public hospital spaces in China, arguing that local forms of hospital violence (known as Yi Nao) transforms these institutions into battlegrounds for moral and political resources. Contesting parties include patients, Yi Nao gangs, medical professionals, government agencies, and hospital administration. The final section demystifies security as applied to graves, often distanced from our daily existence, by adapting the cultural and spatial tenets of Feng Shui. It sheds light on the pursuit of Feng Shui-defined security during burial site selection and related conflicts in rural China. This study offers a compelling and vivid study of the ways that Chinese engage with their built environment, and will interest scholars of Asia, of geography and of politics. It advocates for a critical examination of the geography of Chinese school violence, arguing that schools are not simply containers for state policy but active channels through which spatial securitization and everyday violence converge.

Paperback. Condición: New. This book explores how Chinese border provinces have become actors in international relations.Through an analysis of the international actorness - the inherent characteristics of a subnational entity as an international player - of Yunnan and two other geographically peripheral provinces, Guangdong and Guangxi, the domestic, economic, and legislative circumstances that motivated these provinces to conduct transboundary engagements are determined. The book is based on an extensive field study including interviews with those involved in the implementation of Yunnan's foreign agenda, representatives from province-owned enterprises, universities and think tanks, and officials and experts from the countries neighboring Yunnan. Acknowledging the role of external geopolitics, the authors analyze the efforts of these border provinces to incentivize neighboring countries to cooperate with them on areas of trade, investment, and nontraditional security. Yao Song and Tianyang Liu also observe how border provinces have leveraged their paradiplomatic strengths to affect China's foreign relations with neighboring countries.This volume will appeal to researchers, academics, and postgraduates in political science, international relations, and diplomacy as well as geography, Southeast Asian politics, political economy, Chinese periphery diplomacy, and nonfederal paradiplomacy.…

Hardback. Condición: New. Rather than focusing solely on government policy, the book explores everyday life in urban and rural China during the pandemic. It shows how people navigated uncertainty and how those experiences continue to shape daily practices after the crisis. It also explores how large-scale public health measures were interpreted and adapted.Drawing on interviews, digital diaries, and fieldwork conducted from 2020 to 2025, the book compares urban experiences in Wuhan with rural responses in provinces such as Henan and Hubei. The book highlights well-known moments, such as the Wuhan lockdown, village checkpoints, and community self-organisation. It also examines less visible practices, including mutual aid, humor, informal care, and everyday moral decision-making. A distinctive contribution of the book is its focus on the post-pandemic period. Rather than treating recovery as a return to normal life, the book illustrates how people gradually rebuild routines, relationships, and expectations amid ongoing uncertainty. The book treats the pandemic not as a temporary disruption followed by recovery but as a formative experience that reshapes how ordinary people understand responsibility, security, and everyday life over time.This book will be valuable for scholars and students of politics, public health, and sociology, especially those interested in the unique Chinese experience of the pandemic.…
