简介
南宋与元朝时期国家与地方社会之间的内在动力关系既吸引着学者，也令他们困惑。本书作者Sukhee Lee提出了对帝制中国中期国家与社会精英关系的一种新的理解方式，直接挑战了“国家权力与地方精英利益是零和竞争”的传统假设。本书通过丰富的细节展示了国家权力与地方精英利益是如何相互构成与强化的——正是社会精英与国家的密切联系，以及国家在地方生活中的在场，促成了这一时期自觉的地方精英社会的兴起。本书以明州（今宁波）为个案，大量运用了南宋和元代的方志，以及该地区留存至今的大量文献，包括约280篇为明州人撰写的墓志铭。

This book posits an alternative understanding of the relationship between the state and social elites in the middle period of Chinese imperial history. Directly challenging the assumption of a zero-sum competition between the power of the state and that of local elites, Negotiated Power shows in vivid detail how state power and local elite interests were mutually constitutive and reinforcing. It was precisely the connectedness of social elites to the state, as well as the presence of the state in local life, that was essential to the rise of a self-conscious local elite society during this period. In probing the historical trajectory of Mingzhou prefecture (today's Ningbo), Lee makes extensive use of local gazetteers from the Southern Song and the Yuan dynasties, and the abundant literary collections that still survive from this area, including some 280 epitaphs written for Mingzhou people of the time.
