Description

Securitising China through Comprehensive Social Governance . This project aims to investigate China’s local social governance system, focusing on social governance action plans, pilot programs and plans for data-gathering technology in police-run governance centres. It examines how the Chinese Communist Party integrates police, government and community services to embed its ideology more deeply into citizens’ daily lives. The project expects to generate new knowledge in social governance by analysing the securitisation of grassroots governance. Expected outcomes include a new framework for understanding China’s social governance system and refined analytical methods. This research should benefit the Australian government by informing responses to political challenges from China’s security regime.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4499 - Other Human Society.
