題名: | Authoritarian Resilience Versus Everyday Resistance: The Unexpected Strength of Religious Advocacy in Promoting Transnational Activism in China | 作者: | Wang, Ray | 貢獻者: | 國研中心 | 日期: | Sep-2017 | 上傳時間: | 22-Dec-2018 | 摘要: | This article examines one of the most sensitive forms of transnational activismthe money and services foreign advocacy groups provide to empower localsand explores the reasons why some aid groups have been allowed to work in certain locations when conventional wisdom and experience would indicate otherwise. In a careful comparison of four Chinese cities with similar geographic, political, and economic conditions, we find that only one particular form of religious activist network has been tolerated and its rule-breaking nature has created a persistent activism of everyday resistance. Thus, decoding the mechanisms of its success, named backdoor listing and minority-majority alliance, can help to expand our knowledge about not only the possibility of religious freedom in China, but also our theoretical understanding of the transnational activism strategies that are being widely debated and employed to improve human rights worldwide. | 關聯: | JOURNAL FOR THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF RELIGION,56(3), 558-576 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jssr.12366 |
