As the Chinese Communist Party continues to move away from
socialism, it faces a growing number of challenges to the claim
that it represents the sole legitimate governing body in China. In
order to reaffirm itself as the most effective force for keeping
the country together, the CCP has adapted to contemporary political
conundrums in a variety of ways. Rejecting pessimistic perspectives
which predict an erosion of state power or naive optimism that
state-society relations will evolve towards a Western-style
pluralist democracy in the foreseeable future, the contributions to
this volume explore many ways in which the CCP selectively adapts
to the challenges that have arisen from its strategy of rapid
economic growth at the expense of political reform, in order to
maintain its authority and relevance. Examining trends such as the
reliance on religious charities originating from outside the PRC,
the revival of local governance in urban settings, the passing of
legislation for workers, or the multiplication of environmental
non-governmental organizations, this book tackles the question of
whether the Chinese government can overcome these challenges. The
Chinese Party-State in the 21st Century: Adaptation and the
Reinvention of Legitimacy w ill appeal to students and scholars of
Chinese politics, Asian politics, comparative politics and
political sociology.
