'Pieke's seminal contribution is of pressing importance not only to anthropologists interested in the ways in which political power comes to be reproduced and refracted, but, obviously, also to students of politics as well. The underlying dynamics of China's resilient brand of 'adaptive authoritarianism' have emerged as a key research puzzle for students of comparative politics, to whom Pieke's work should also speak volumes.' Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
