Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The talk describes and analyses in its historical context how the recruitment and running of informants was managed by China’s state security organs prior to the beginning of the so-called reform era. The presentation is largely based on original grassroots operational records and, using the city of Harbin as a case, seeks to illustrate dimensions of urban social control previously neglected by political scientists and historians.
