Feudalism is one of the most studied topics in the field of history but without a consensus on its central characteristics, it remains a slippery concept. The History of Chinese Feudal Society provides a comprehensive analysis on the rise and fall of feudalism in China. Drawing on a vast resource of archival materials, it is the first study to investigate feudalism in China from the perspective of sociology and to compare feudalism in China to feudalism in the West. The author proposes that land ownership and the relationship between land owners and farmers are the two determining factors of feudalism with the Yin Dynasty marking a transitional stage to feudalism while the Zhou Dynasty saw the establishment of feudalism as a political system and central institution. This book was written by one of the best-known Chinese historians and has been a classic best-seller for decades. Students and scholars of Chinese history, especially Chinese feudalism, will find it to be an essential reference in their study and research.

La réforme du communisme n'a pas conduit à l'effondrement du régime de Pékin mais a permis une croissance économique spectaculaire qui fonde aujourd'hui son pouvoir. État fort mais puissance fragile en raison des inégalités sociales et d'une grave crise environnementale, la Chine entend s'affirmer sans devenir le gendarme du monde. Elle s'oppose à l'Occident mais fait tout pour lui ressembler. La Chine qui, de nos jours, semble étrangère à ses propres traditions, sera t-elle tentée de renouer avec son passé ? Le monde se laissera-t-il, à son tour, tenter par le « modèle » chinois ? Ce livre puise à la source de notre imaginaire et du rapport de la Chine à elle-même pour analyser la nature de son pouvoir et la réalité de sa puissance. Il propose un panorama approfondi des grandes problématiques du pays du nouveau dirigeant Xi Jinping, au-delà des clichés orientalistes et des jugements hâtifs sur la menace ou le miracle chinois. Stéphanie Balme est chercheur à Sciences Po (CERI), responsable du programme « Droit, justice et société en Chine » et professeur à l'École des Affaires internationales (PSIA) de Sciences Po. Elle a vécu plus de dix ans en Chine, entre Shanghai, Hong Kong et Pékin.

This study examines the Chinese model of modern development, reflecting on the historical experience of China's reform and highlighting theoretical issues that are crucial for understanding the reform in its historical and global contexts. Bringing together articles from scholars, including designers of and active participants in the reform, opinion setters in the current debates on the nature and future of the reform, and Western scholars whose ideas have had great impact on Chinese intellectuals, the book considers the goals of China's reforms and the ways in which these goals may be achieve

"After three decades of massive rural-to-urban migration in China, a burgeoning population of over 35 million second-generation migrants living in its cities poses a challenge to socialist modes of population management and urban governance. In The Inconvenient Generation, Minhua Ling offers the first longitudinal study of these migrant youth from middle school to the labor market in the years after the Shanghai municipal government partially opened its public school system to them. Drawing on multi-sited ethnographic data, Ling follows the trajectories of dozens of children coming of age at a time of competing economic and social imperatives, and its everyday ramifications on their sense of identity, educational outcomes, and citizenship claims. Under policies and practices of segmented inclusion, they are inevitably funneled through the school system toward a life of manual labor. Illuminating the aspirations and strategies of these young men and women, Ling captures their experiences against the backdrop of a reemergent global Shanghai."--
