The Communist Party of China’s New Central Department of Social Work
People's Republic of China, Volumes I and II
Magic, Religion, and the Naturalisation of Chinese Communist Party Rule
People's Republic of China, Volumes I and II
The Chinese Communist Party as a Global Force
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is currently in the throes of redefining itself as not just China's ruling party, but also as the dominant political force of global China. Following the path of Chinese globalisation, this project overlaps with – but is different from – China's much maligned strategy of influencing and interfering in the society and politics of other countries. The principal aim of the CCP's global extension is not to meddle in …
Global East Asia
Party spirit
The Chinese Communist Party is confronted with a growing gap that separates the rhetoric about socialism and party rule from the individualism and materialism caused by capitalism and opening up to the outside world. In response, the Party has developed strategies that draw on an understanding of the dedication to the Party that is specifically religious, yet does not require belief, conviction, or faith in a doctrine. These strategies revolve ar…
Chinese in Europe
Knowing China
Contemporary China appears both deceptively familiar and inexplicably different. China is a cauldron of forms of entrepreneurship, social organization, ways of life and governance that are at once new and unique, recognizably Chinese and generically modern. In analyzing and interpreting these developments, Frank N. Pieke adopts a China-centric perspective to move beyond western preoccupations, desires, or fears. Each chapter starts with a key que…

Contemporary China Studies in the Netherlands
The interest of early sinologists was largely focused on aspects of what was then contemporary China that were of practical use in dealing with Chinese subjects in the Dutch Indies: classical Chinese, southern Chinese spoken languages, translation, secret societies, law, religion. Despite these limitations, what made Dutch sinologists of this period stand out from later generations was their awareness that contemporary China ought to be understoo…
Anthropology, China, and the Chinese Century
If the twenty-first century will be a Chinese one, what will its anthropology bring? The new realities of life in China have fundamentally reshaped the anthropology of modern China. With the disappearance of the planned economy, a whole range of structures, networks, organizations, and practices has emerged at the interface of state and society. Moreover, Chinese society is shaped by globalization, transnationalism, and cosmopolitanism to a degre…
Immigrant China
This article tackles a new phenomenon that will have profound consequences for the future of the international migration order: international migration to the People’s Republic of China. For decades, China has had large numbers of foreign students, expatriates, returned overseas Chinese, and ethnic Chinese refugees. However, in the past few years, immigration to China has become much more diverse and numerous. Chinese students and scholars abroad…
New and Old Diversities in Contemporary China
The Communist Party and social management in China
At the core of China's rise lies the Chinese Communist Party's ability to reinvent itself and its administration. This article investigates one aspect of the gradual overhaul of administrative institutions, processes, and strategies, namely the increasing prominence of neoliberal ideas emanating from the discipline of public management in the recent emphasis on 'social management' (社会管理) in government rhetoric and action. The article concludes th…
Mobility and cultural authority in contemporary China - By Pál Nyíri
The Good Communist
Has China become just another capitalist country in a socialist cloak? Will the Chinese Communist Party's rule survive the next ten years of modernization and globalization? Frank Pieke investigates these conundrums in this fascinating account of how government officials are trained for placement in the Chinese Communist Party. Through in-depth interviews with staff members and aspiring trainees, he shows that while the Chinese Communist Party ha…
The production of rulers
The Chinese state's functioning continues to revolve around the communist party. Control over the management of cadres gives the party the ultimate power across the institutions of formal governance. Here the party's control is interrogated by scrutinizing the efforts to upgrade cadre training at party schools in order to modernize the practice and ethos of administration. Cadres should also become modern, competent managers of increasingly compl…
Introduction
Les Chinois au Royaume-Uni, ou l'illusion de l'immigration choisie
Ethnographic research conducted in both China and the United Kingdom shows that the public policy of the British state in the area of immigration is not a rigid constraint externally imposed on migrants. On the contrary, it is incorporated by the latter into their strategies, which leads them to migratory, employment and survival practices that produce the social phenomena (false asylum claims, illegal work, etc.) against which the aforementioned…
Nouvelles migrations chinoises et travail en Europe
L'intensification des mouvements migratoires Est-Ouest modifie en profondeur l'Europe économique. Parmi ceux-ci, l'importance croissante des déplacements de populations chinoises (qu'elles soient très qualifiées ou qu'elles le soient peu) redessine le marché du travail européen et trace les contours d'espaces économiques et sociaux inédits. Ces "nouvelles migrations" révèlent le processus de mondialisation "par le bas" et "par le haut", portées p…
Beyond control? The mechanics and dynamics of ‘informal’ remittances between Europe and Africa
Policy making usually assumes that the best way to harness migrant remittances for development is by shifting them into the regulated money transfer sector. However, much research evidence concludes that alternative methods are often cheaper and more reliable, accessible and convenient. In this article, we explore this tension between policy objectives and evidence. Based on a review of remittance mechanisms in seven sub‐Saharan African countries…
Institutionalizing Recent Rural Emigration from China to Europe
The prevalence of irregular migration from a small region in the central parts of Fujian province has associated Chinese emigration with organized crime, exploitation and opportunism in a range of popular and academic writings both in China and outside China. Although migration brokers (“snakeheads”) play an important role in maintaining migratory flows already underway, they should not be seen as the root cause of migration from Fujian. In this …
Contours of an Anthropology of the Chinese State
Anthropologists have long been inclined to view China from the perspective of a state-society dichotomy. In this model, the inevitable consequence of economic reform is that - especially at the local level - the state must yield more and more of its power to entrepreneurs, foreign investors, non-state organizations, and local communities. Not only does this approach distort the role of the state in society, but by placing the state above and outs…

"Chinese Educational Achievement and "Folk Theories of Success
This article examines issues of human agency and Ogbu's concept of "folk theory of success" in the context of the Dutch Chinese immigrant educational experience. It argues that minority educational behavior and the way it comes about cannot be described with static interpretive frames; rather, it must be located within the context of a flexible "cultural logic" that determines the interpretation of continually changing circumstances facing an ind…

The Genealogical Mentality in Modern China
Xuanwei, a county-level municipality (xianji shi) located in the northeastern corner of Yunnan province, has nothing remarkable to boast. It is, of course, one of the largest counties in China and "home of the Yunnan ham." Xuanwei is even the native place of Zhuo Lin, wife of the late Deng Xiaoping. Such trivia apart, Xuanwei's vital statistics read as a microcosm of interior China that moreover cover a wide variety of ecological and socioeconomi…

Bureaucracy, Friends, and Money
Since 1978, the Chinese economic reforms that Deng Xiaoping initiated have given more room to market forces, legalized private entrepreneurship, and decentralized considerable decision-making power into the hands of the directors of state-owned enterprises through responsibility or contract systems. These reforms have produced some spectacular successes. Currently, the Chinese are richer, better informed, and have more personal freedom than at an…

The Chinese in the Netherlands
The Chinese are one of the oldest ethnic minorities in the Netherlands. They control a major part of the restaurant economy and, through their cuisine, have strongly influenced Dutch eating habits. Up until the 1980s, little research had been done into the Chinese encounter with Dutch society,1 but over the last several years a number of academic studies have been published about the Chinese community in the Netherlands. This chapter looks at tha…

Recent Trends in Chinese Migration to Europe
This report presents recent findings regarding main trends in Chinese migration to Europe and detailed discussions on the particular characteristics of Fujianese flows. It demonstrates that migrants from the central and western parts of the Fujian province are shaping changing migration patterns and creating new trends. The report also describes the professional assistance received by these new migrants in the migration process
