When and why do people obey political authority when it runs against their own interests to do so? This book is about the channels beyond direct repression through which China's authoritarian state controls protest and implements ambitious policies from sweeping urbanization schemes that have displaced millions to family planning initiatives like the one-child policy. Daniel C. Mattingly argues that China's remarkable state capacity is not simply a product of coercive institutions such as the secret police or the military. Instead, the state uses local civil society groups as hidden but effective tools of informal control to suppress dissent and implement far-reaching policies. Drawing on evidence from qualitative case studies, experiments, and national surveys, the book challenges the conventional wisdom that a robust civil society strengthens political responsiveness. Surprisingly, it is communities that lack strong civil society groups that find it easiest to act collectively and spontaneously resist the state.

In a brilliant procession through the last 250 years, Ute Frevert looks at the role that public humiliation has played in modern society, showing how humiliation - and the feeling of shame that it engenders - has been used as a means of coercion and control, from the worlds of politics and international diplomacy through to the education of children and the administration of justice.0We learn the stories of the French women whose hair was compulsorily shaven as a punishment for alleged relations with German soldiers during the occupation of France, and of the transgressors in the USA who are made to carry a sign announcing their presence when walking down busy streets. Bringing the story right up to the present, we see how the internet and social media pillorying have made public shaming a ubiquitous phenomenon. 0Using a multitude of both historical and contemporary examples, Ute Frevert shows how humiliation has been used as a tool over the last 250 years (and how it still is today), a story that reveals remarkable similarities across different times and places. And we see how the art of humiliation is in no way a thing of the past but has been re-invented for the 21st century, in a world where such humiliation is inflicted not from above by the political powers that be but by our social peers.

La presente obra tuvo como objeto de investigación las normas y las transgresiones ocurridas en la vida familiar, en especial de las mujeres, en Cartagena de Indias y La Habana, las principales ciudades puertos del Caribe junto con Veracruz y Portobelo, entre 1759 y 1808. La consulta de una amplia variedad de fuentes localizadas, entre otras instituciones, en el Archivo General de Indias en España, el Archivo General de la Nación en Colombia y el Archivo Nacional de Cuba, así como la aplicación del método de la crítica histórica, permitieron demostrar que la legislación y los discursos producidos por el despotismo ilustrado con el fin de controlar la vida familiar reforzaron la normatividad patriarcal, destinada a consolidar la subordinación femenina ante la autoridad de los varones. Esto generó múltiples situaciones conflictivas y transgresoras, en las que las mujeres asumieron un rol protagónico como una alternativa válida para la defensa de sus derechos.
