520			_aThis paper critically examines the stability discourse in China by contextualizing the political discourse of stability within the cultural discourse of harmony in order to understand the culture of protests in China. The objective is to investigate the political space for protests within the broader arena of harmony. Confucian ideal of harmony has been idealised in China and the paper examines the significance of harmony in defining difference or discontent. In the process, the paper will also examine the post reform quest for stability in China amidst increasing protests.This paper argues that the stability discourse is only a part of the larger discourse of harmony in state society relations in China. The stability is only the political use of the concept of harmony.-Reproduced https://www.jstor.org/stable/26575670
