文摘

This thesis explores one particular facet of contemporary state-society relationship in China, i.e. state-student relationship. By arguing against the popular observation that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) retreated from Chinese universities as a way of winning students&rsquo； support, this thesis claims that the party-state has adopted a &ldquo；bird cage&rdquo； strategy in post-Tiananmen university governance. That is to say, the party-state has not only re-established and strengthened its control institutions in universities, but at same time expanded its zone of tolerance and created new outlets for students&rsquo； political enthusiasm and participation. A four-city, seven-university field survey was conducted, the result of which supports the view that the CCP&rsquo；s post-Tiananmen governance strategy has been effective. Respondents agree that party&rsquo；s governing institutions are resilient and play important roles in students&rsquo； life. They also seem to be in agreement with, at least as the survey results indicate, important political ideas promoted by the party-state.
