Mengin argues that these activities reconfigure power beyond the dichotomous reach of state sovereignty. As might be expected from a conference volume, the "blurring of frontiers" that is summed up across a discrete set of empirical studies adds up to a fuzzy picture. Each empirical chapter forms a snapshot in and of itself, but the compilation mainly reinforces the impression that Chinese excel at forming networks that cross official boundaries but also that the resources that enable individuals and groups to do so are unevenly distributed, leaving some, such as unemployed workers, in an invidious and marginalized situation. Overall, the volume reminds the social scientist of the contrasting cosmologies that Joseph Needham attributed to the West and to China: the former sees the world as a complex mechanism working in accord with transcendent Laws of Nature given by a divine legislator, while the Chinese see the world as a complex jigang or seamless web of relations and forces constantly reshaping itself through an endless displacement of nodes and connections. This reality of a networked China has come more clearly into focus as artificial attempts to impose both order and disorder have receded into the historical background.
