Hegemonic Transformation deftly weaves together breathtaking grand theory, meticulous explication of workers' thinking, and careful middle-range analysis comparing variation amidst the broad similarities. An original, important, persuasive and indispensable account that takes this much-studied topic to a new level—Prof. Marc Blecher, Oberlin College
After forcefully implementing capitalism in a passive revolution since 1978, in view of increasing workers unrest the Chinese party-state has recently moved towards establishing capitalist hegemony based on new labour laws. As Elaine HUI, however, demonstrates in this fascinating book, hegemony is always contested. A must-read for everyone, who is interested in the changing Chinese form of state.'—Prof. Andreas Bieler, Nottingham University
