Living Politics: Social Alternatives and the Crisis of Democracy -- Part I -- Ignoring the Attention-seeking State -- Survival as Citizenship, or Citizenship as Survival? Imagined and Transient Political Groups in Urban China -- Self-help is Political: How Organic Farming Creates an Autonomous Space Within the South Korean Nation State -- Part II -- Leveraging Informal Networks for Survival Politics -- Informal Grassland Protection Networks in Inner Mongolia -- Forest, Music, and Farming: The Takae Anti-helipad Movement and Everyday Life as Political Space -- Part III -- Alternative Value Creation -- The Dilemmas of Peach Blossom Valley: The Resurgence of Rice-terrace Farming in Gongliao District, Taiwan -- The Neverending Story: Alternative Exchange and Living Politics in a Japanese Regional Community -- Improvising the Future.

This collection elucidates the complexity of living politics in the 21st century, considering how self-help groups draw on shared regional traditions, and how they adapt their actions to the diverse formal political environments in which they operate. It considers the nexus between ideas and action in a world where the conventional 'right-left' divide has a decreasing hold on the political imagination. Examining grassroots self-help actions as responses to everyday life problems, it argues that whilst action may be initiated by encounters with ideas that come into the community from outside, often the flow of cause and effect works in the opposite direction. Focusing on countries both politically dynamic and with long-standing historical and cultural connections - China (including Inner Mongolia), Japan, Taiwan and Korea - this book fills a significant gap in the literature on social movements, demonstrating that survival itself is a political act.
