Abstract
Over the last two decades, social science researchers have published a variety of works on state–religion relations in China. This paper examines five different works, explains their theoretical models and approaches, and evaluates their contributions and limitations. These works include Richard Madsen’s model of control and resistance, Mayfair Yang’s secularization theory, Vincent Goossaert and David Palmer’s ecological approach, Yang Fenggang’s religious market theory, and Peter van der Veer, Yoshiko Ashiwa, and David Wank’s institutional theory. The conclusion proposes some suggestions for studying state–religion relations in contemporary China.
