Research summary
AI-generated

Elizabeth J. Perry's research focuses on Chinese politics and governance, particularly how the Chinese Communist Party maintains authority and manages social stability through tools like work teams, patriotic campaigns, and mobilized movements. Her work often takes a historical and comparative approach, tracing continuities between Soviet-era governance practices, the Maoist period, and contemporary politics under Xi Jinping. Note that the publication list provided also includes several unrelated titles on health services and pediatric medicine, which appear to be bibliographic mismatches rather than this PI's actual output.
