The Exemplary Society: Human Improvement, Social Control, and the Dangers of Modernity in China - Studies on Contemporary China
Bakken, Børge (Senior Researcher, Senior Researcher, Nordic Institute of Asian Studies (NIAS), Copenhagen)
The Exemplary Society examines traditional and modern Chinese beliefs about education, discipline, and social control. It describes the Chinese attitudes towards criminality, sex, youth culture, and other `disorders' of the modernization process. The resulting quest for social control through an exemplary educative and disciplinary society is analysed in this pathbreaking study.
