Guest Lecture by Dr. Alexsia Chan: Beyond Coercion: The Politics of Inequality in China

Join us for a talk by visiting political scientist, Dr. Alexsia Chan!

She will speak about her new book, “Beyond Coercion: The Politics of Inequality in China.” Her book offers a new perspective on mechanisms of social control in authoritarian regimes, arguing that local governments provide public services to migrants through a process of political individualization, enabling the State to exercise control beyond coercion by atomizing those who might otherwise mobilize against it.
