How China's Communist government maintains its grip on power by both repressing and responding to its people
Since 1949, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has maintained unrivalled control over the country, persisting even in the face of economic calamity, widespread social upheaval, and violence against its own people. Yet the party does not sustain dominance only through repressive tactics--it pairs this with surprising responsiveness to the public. The Party and the People explores how this paradox has helped the CCP endure for decades, and how this balance has shifted increasingly toward repression under the rule of President Xi Jinping. Delving into the tenuous binary of repression and responsivity, Dickson illuminates numerous questions surrounding the CCP's rule: How does it choose leaders and create policies? When does it allows protests? Will China become democratic? Dickson shows that the party's dual approach lies at the core of its practices--repression when dealing with existential, political threats or challenges to its authority, and responsiveness when confronting localized economic or social unrest. The state answers favorably to the demands of protesters on certain issues, such as local environmental hazards and healthcare, but deals harshly with others, such as protests in Tibet, Xinjiang, or Hong Kong. With the CCP's greater reliance on suppression since Xi Jinping's rise to power in 2012, Dickson considers the ways that this tipping of the scales will influence China's future. Bringing together a vast body of sources, The Party and the People sheds new light on how the relationship between the Chinese state and its citizens shapes governance.

Описание:
The new music theatre of the third quarter of the twentieth century presents a research field of great richness. In these years, music theatre became one of the main preoccupations for (especially) young composers digesting the consequences of the revolutionary experiments in musical language that followed the end of the Second World War. Despite the importance of 'music theatre' in this period, many significant works are now almost forgotten, and very few regularly revived, often because of the inadequacies of surviving notations or the unusual demands of staging. New music theatre between 1955 and 1975 challenged accepted genre categories, but in so doing often failed to find a secure place in the repertory. The use of different national languages, and the close relationship with local trends in other kinds of theatre, also militated against the spread of works' reputations internationally.
The volume takes as a focus the idea of 'transformation', for instance, to historical approaches to the conjoining of music and staged action; to conceptions of music and musical performance; to the afterlives of theories of drama developed originally in the spoken theatre; to composers' conceptions of their relation to wider society; and to new music theatre itself as it developed through the twenty-year period that is the focus of this book. The volume presents new music theatre as a site of intense exchange - between practitioners of different art forms, across national borders, and with artistic institutions and changing consumer technologies. Suitably, the volume itself is the outcome of a process of international and intradisciplinary exchange between leading scholars with diverse competencies, offering new insights into a period of great significance within recent music history.

At midnight on June 30, 1997, Hong Kong became part of the People’s Republic of China. The transfer of Hong Kong sovereignty from Great Britain to China was an extraordinary historical event, signifying the end of the West’s colonial presence in Asia and the rise of China’s hegemony.
In 150 years as a British colony, Hong Kong changed from a barely inhabitable colonial entrep?t to one of the world’s leading financial and industrial centers. Faced with a new social and economic order under Chinese law, many Hong Kongers moved to a new country; others decided to stay; but many chose to maintain their lives and livelihoods in Hong Kong, while spreading their assets and their family members around the world. They bought apartments in London and condos in Vancouver, invested in firms in Guangzhou and Thailand, and sent their children to schools in Europe and Australia. These new up-market migrants have transformed a cosmopolitan outlook into a global presence.
Cosmopolitan Capitalists focuses on the people of Hong Kong and how they are defining themselves under altered circumstances. It is a broad multi-disciplinary view of Hong Kong’s transformation, written for a general audience by some of the world’s foremost scholars on the region.
