Forlagsbeskrivelse af Authoritarian Absorption af Yan Long
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. Drawing on longitudinal-ethnographic research, Yan Long reveals how Western liberal interventions can simultaneously bolster public health institutions and reinforce authoritarian power, a development pivotal to China''s subsequent handling of COVID-19 and instrumental in advancing the rights of groups like gay men.
