Social Connections in China: Institutions, Culture, and the Changing Nature of Guanxi (Structural Analysis in the Social Sciences, Series Number 21) - Softcover
Guanxi, loosely translated as "social connections," or "social networks," is among the most important, talked about, and studied phenomena in China today. Guanxi lies at the heart of China's social order, its economic structure, and its changing institutional landscape. It is considered important in most every realm of life, from politics to business, and from officialdom to street life. This volume offers the latest scholarly thinking on the subject by top China sociologists whose work on guanxi has been influential and by new scholars offering cutting-edge insights on the topic.

Review:
"Insightful.... Social Connections in China is a well-written and thought-provoking investigation of the use of guanxi in business and social dealings in China today. It is a useful book for those interested in sociology, cultural anthropology, law, and business--and provides great insight into the undercurrents of the Chinese political world today." The China Business Review
"A well-written and thought provoking investigation of the use of guanxi in business and social dealings in China today. It is a useful book for those interested in sociology, cultural anthropology, law, and business. It also provides great insight to the undercurrents of the Chinese political world today." Washington Asia Press
"This is an excellent book that deserves the wide attention of specialists on contemporary Chinese society and politics. Social Connections in China not only avoids the typical problems of edited volumes, it masterfully uses the opportunity to bring multiple specialists on a single topic together to engage in vigorous debate...Those who read Social Connections in China will see how much progress researchers have made over the last two decades in understanding a central aspect of life in China as well as gain a glimpse of where the field is headed." China Review International, Scott Kennedy, Indiana University
