Social Disciplining and Civilising Processes in China: The Politics of Morality and the Morality of Politics

This book argues that a major part of the Chinese government’s roadmap to modernize China comprehensively by 2049 is the process of social disciplining. This book discusses the Chinese experience of social disciplining and identifies universal tendencies of social disciplining and separates them from particular occurrences.
