Labor Activism and Colonial Governance in Hong Kong chronicles a long neglected yet formative social and political movement in Hong Kong between the 1930s and 1950s. Drawing upon a range of British and Chinese sources, the book reveals the complex links between labor activism, imperial reform, revolution, and the global Cold War to shed new light on colonialism and activism in modern China.

Since the Second World War Hong Kong’s development has been characterized not only by income inequality but, oddly enough, by economic growth and political stability. In an era when widespread poverty and rampant political disorder are sources of failure in many developing countries, Hong Kong’s performance is both spectacular and exceptional. Society and Politics in Hong Kong is a systematic, structural analysis of Hong Kong’s post-War society and the politics which underlie her economic miracle. Political stability in Hong Kong is succinctly explained in terms of both a resourceful, “self-sufficient” Chinese society whose demands upon the government are limited, and of a government which chooses to minimize its public functions and its involvement in the Chinese society. This state of affairs is made possible by a fortuitous constellation of factors, among which the most prominent is the continuous economic prosperity of Hong Kong.

《国家为什么会失败》回答了困扰专家们几个世纪的问题：为什么有的国家富、有的国家穷；国家为什么按照富裕不富裕、健康不健康、食物充足不充足来划分？是文化、天气、地理特征还是不知道正确政策？
简单说，什么都不是。没有任何一个因素是确定的或注定的。德隆·阿西莫格鲁和詹姆士·罗宾逊令人信服地表明，人为的政治和经济制度对经济成功（或经济不成功）至关重要。在15年原创性研究的基础上，作者整理了罗马帝国、玛雅城市国家、中世纪威尼斯、苏联、拉美、英格兰、欧洲、美国和非洲的大量历史证据，建立了一个跟当今社会下列重大问题高度相关的新政治经济学理论，包括：
中国会以如此快的速度持续增长吗？能够超越西方吗？美国的最好时光过去了吗？我们正在从限制精英人物扩张权力的良性循环走向使少数人致富和扩张权力的恶性循环吗？什么是帮助数十亿贫困人口走向繁荣的最有效方式呢？是来自西方富裕国家更多的慈善援助？还是学习阿西莫格鲁和罗宾逊的创造性观点得出的关于包容性政治制度和包容性经济制度相互作用的经验教训？

The United States, Germany, and Japan - the world's three most powerful and successful free market societies - differ strikingly in how their governments relate to their economies. Comparing Policy Networks reports the results of collaborative research by three teams investigating the social organization and policymaking processes of national labor policy domains in the United States, Germany, and Japan during the 1980s. The researchers gathered information about policy goals, communication patterns, and political support connections from 350 key national organizations, including labor unions, business associations, public interest groups, government agencies, and political parties. These networks reveal similar conflict divisions between business and labor interests, but also distinctive patterns within each nation. Unique combinations of informal policy-making networks and the national political institutions may in part explain the differences in power structures and legislative decisions.

本书收入韦伯最著名的两篇演讲：《学术作为一种志业》和《政治作为一种志业》。这两篇演讲，是韦伯去世不久，在战争与革命因袭下的德国“新”文化的重镇慕尼黑发表的，是20世纪思想的最重要文献。韦伯总摄他一生学术、思想、道德与政治的关怀，通过历史与社会学角度的比较分析，以及在道德价值层次上的批判反省，就学术知识与政治行动的性质、条件和限制，提出冷酷的界定和慷慨的呼吁。它们让读者沉痛地认识到近代人处境的艰难，也迫使读者用“英雄伦理”的态度，在“平实的眼前工作”中，把握住关系到人性尊严的一线希望。

Non-democratic states such as China and Vietnam are often assumed to lack functioning civil societies. In spite of apparent restrictions, the network members Andrew Wells-Dang studies actively create informal pathways for advocacy through cross-sectoral social networks. This book brings a fresh, original approach to understand social action through the conceptual lens of informal environmental and health networks. Using personal relationships, media allies, and new technologies, activist networks are transforming public discourse and expanding political spaces. In rich and captivating case studies, this book turns conventional depictions of controlled Chinese and Vietnamese civil societies on their head. Wells-Dang demonstrates a wider range of advocacy techniques and strategies than previously documented in one-party authoritarian political systems. He argues convincingly that informal and virtual networks, rather than corporatist associations or autonomous non-profit organizations, are the true building blocks of civil society.
