具体描述
These four conceptual and critical essays on state and society in contemporary China argue vigorously against the grain of prevailing scholarly interpretation. In substantive content, they explore two major themes from different historical and theoretical points of departure.
First, the author argues that the party/state under Mao fell far short of the full control over China's peasant society that outside observers often assumed it had achieved. She shows, instead, how the Maoist state frequently pursued policies that in fact had the ironic effect of strengthening the resistance of rural communities against the central political apparatus. Second, she contends that once the true limitations on the Maoist state's power in rural areas are rightly understood, it becomes clear that one effect of the post-Mao economic and political reforms may be to enhance rather than to diminish the state's authority in the countryside — despite all the reformists' rhetoric to the contrary.
These essays on "how to think about the Chinese state" are designed to stimulate debate about assumptions and methods in the field of Chinese political analysis. The controversies they raise, however, make them highly relevant to scholars outside Chinese studies who are interested in theories of the state, in the interrelations of state and society, and in the fate of the peasantry under socialism.

讨论国家的范畴及其局限，也是进一步模糊国家与社会的边界。毛时代中央对地方的控制远没有人们想象的那么深入，如果用Shils的理论解释，则中央对于地方的integration进行得实则乱七八糟，垂直结构的行政系统和平行结构的地方系统之间存在长期的紧张关系；合作社和公社的组织有自给自足的潜力，地方干部和国家的联系也或许并不如其与农民本身的联系更强，这就造成了国家政策在落实过程中不能与国家最初的意图相符。各地方自己进行行政操作和地下交易，形成各自独立的蜂巢结构。而这或许是帝国时代遗留下松散的地方政府结构的延续。这种结构下的国家则如同被蜘蛛丝缚住手脚，无法行动。所以邓的改革意图不在去国家化，而恰恰在于用市场溶解各地方区块的独立运作，更方便国家控制。当然本书实证不那么充足，但这个概念讨论真是深得我心。
评分在本书的第三章对于国家渗透的状况进行了精彩的分析，也是全书最大的亮点。对于打破我们对于1949-1980时代中国的偏见大有裨益。其他部分感觉一般。
评分Beautifully written, but sometimes can be repetitive.一些观点过于ideal和simplified，在作者提出关注“process”的同时却缺乏更多的细致描写。当然不能太过苛求一本近似methodology的书。第一章对social scientist关于PRC的研究梳理得很好，第三章的长时段变迁阅读体验不错但略显粗糙。如果和Duara的作品一起读会很有趣。虽然Duara同样擅长建立新概念和模型，但相比Shue显得更令人信服。Still biased toward a historian.
评分架构清晰，材料匀称妥帖，也是社会学研究的典范。第三章写得挺精彩的，拉出了历史的脉络，格局也很大，不过对于论证还没有能力批判吧。（作者提出的剧情翻转在于：被西方认为极权主义的毛时代，地方其实有自主性，有独立能力，不那么容易被国家穿透，比如人民公社，所谓cellularity结构；而邓的改革则并非国家的撤退，反而经过“现代化”和市场的扩张，原有阻碍国家reach的架构被削弱瓦解了，农民可能直接暴露在国家和市场面前，国家权力虽有边界但是可以do more）
评分I want to write like Shue, but I cannot agree with her theory of the state.
