Using interviews\, survey dat a\, and a comprehensive examination of laws\, policies\, and judicial deci sions\, this book also examines how the party-state in China responds to t he risks and benefits brought by neighborhood democratization. Moreover\, this book provides a framework to analyze different approaches to the auth oritarian dilemma facing neighborhood democratization\, which may increase the regime’s legitimacy and expose it to the challenge of independent org anizations at the same time. Lastly\, this book identifies conditions unde r which neighborhood democratization can succeed.\n\nShitong Qiao\n\nShito ng Qiao is Professor of Law and Ken Young-Gak Yun and Jinah Park Yun Resea rch Scholar at Duke University.
