Produktbeschreibung
Authoritarian Absorption unveils the transformation of China's pandemic response system from 1978 to 2018 through its battle against HIV/AIDS. Chinese bureaucrats, facing pressure from foreign agencies-especially those of the US and UK-and grassroots social movements, developed ways to turn epidemics into opportunities for enhancing domestic control and international stature.
