Miss Yongmei Li Master of Public Administration
Postgraduate research student
Having accumulated much experience in China collective action and grass-root organization research, now I am continuing my exploration on the relation between local government and community organizations in terms of political participation in both UK and China, looking forward to any queries or ideas about local democracy and state-society relations.
Extremely grateful for the academic excellence here and also fascinated with comparative study in China and the UK. I feel pretty excited to tell the true story in these two countries and anyone interested in China Study is warmly welcomed to have more communication.
I am now doing my PhD research under the supervision of Professor R.A.W. Rhodes, Dr. Jack Corbett and Dr. John Boswell and my topic is the interaction of local government and community organization in the UK and China in public policy.
My previous works mainly revolved around urban governance and community organization including several times fieldwork in central and eastern part of China. Thus some of my publications are based upon the qualitative fieldwork study I have done before.
Additionally, my Master Degree thesis is also a qualitative work on homeowner association governance, and the title is The Research on Homeowner Association Governance of Commodity Residential Building in Urban Area----From the Perspective of Social Conflict Governance.
