In this guest lecture, Dr Mike Gow will explore the relationship between consumerism, citizenship, and consensus to the state vision for China in the 21^st century. The role of the state in setting the parameters of identity and citizenship through key propaganda campaigns is discussed before analysing the mobilisation of state and non-state actors and their role in the formation of a durable consensus.

Join us at the Lau China Institute on Wednesday 20 March at 5pm for a lecture by Dr Mike Gow (Edge Hill) chaired by Dr Konstantinos Tsimonis (King's College London).
