Adaptation under Scrutiny: Peering Through the Lens of Community Governance in China

---

This paper examines processes of adaptive governance and authoritarian resilience through
the lens of community governance, bringing together hitherto unrelated fields of study. It
argues first that adaptation has unintended consequences that can threaten stability but do
not necessarily cause regime crisis. Second, it contends that the structural fault-lines of
institutionalised categorical inequality, marketisation, and professionalization, along with
the pathologies of Leninist authoritarianism, undermine adaptive community governance.
The paper draws on qualitative research in two neighbourhoods of Shanghai.
