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.
