Xi Chen explores the dramatic rise in social protests in China since the early 1990s. Challenging the conventional wisdom that authoritarian regimes always repress popular collective protest, Chen suggests that routine contentious bargaining between the government and ordinary people has contributed to the regime's resilience.
