With the market driving a wedge between state and society, the integral whole which the two used to form has been destroyed and a completely new model of relationship between state and society has begun to emerge. However, are the two really separated from each other？ How should the new state-society relationship be understood？ What is the basic feature of the process in which the old is being replaced by the new？ Is the society becoming autonomous, or the government reestablishing its control over society？ Or have both happened？ In any case, what impact will these changes bring to bear upon the further economic and political evolution of Chinese mainland？ These questions entered, after the 1990s, into the core area of research in social sciences in China.展开更多
