The Journal of Political Sociology (JPS) opens a forum to discuss 'the political' of societal change. JPS goes beyond a narrow understanding of political sociology to study state organizations, public policy, and much more: articles investigate political processes in art, economics, education, ecology, science, technology, religion, public health, and identity formation. Recent frictions in these fields afford new approaches, dialogues, and methodologies in the study of politics. Engagement with inter- and transdisciplinary approaches, novel methods, and diverse publics therefore is particularly welcome. JPS is committed to empirical inquiry, theoretical reflection and critical debate.
Guest editors Jingyu Mao, Minh T.N. Nguyen, Phill Wilcox, and an interdisciplinary group of authors have published an inspiring collection that fundamentally challenges the biased, urban-oriented view on modernization politics in Late Socialist Asia.

Recent decades have witnessed global movements and flows of labour, capital, goods, and technologies into and out of the countryside in the Global South. This special issue discusses how globalisation, increasing urbanisation, and state policies shape rural lives across China, Vietnam and Laos, and how rural people imagine their futures amid the risks and uncertainties generated at the juncture between political, economic, and ecological forces. It unsettles the urban/rural divide while showing that such polarized construction will persist as long as clear benefits for the state and market remain in constructing the countryside as in dire need of development and catching up with the city.
