Subject: sources on local governance issues?
***********************************************************

I am helping to supervise a Ph.D. candidate who is conducting research on
China's district and county direct elections. He is looking for titles
that deal with local governance issues, in particular, relating to the
Miao deputies in Guizhou Province. I am posting this query on the
student's behalf

Thanks.

==========================================================

My Ph.D research deals with China¹s district and county direct elections,
especially those counties and districts under the authority of the
regional autonomy system in the ethnic areas. I am also interested in
local governance issues and the power relations between the state, local
congress deputies and local communities.  I hope to make use of Albert O.
Hirschman¹s theory of "exit, voice and loyality" in my analysis of China¹s
local and micro-politics. I would be very grateful for the titles of
book-length studies and/or journal articles that focus on any of these
areas.  Please contact me directly at:
