The book is part of the recent effort to catch up with the research
on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Despite its omnipresence and
pivotal role in running the country, there has been a conspicuous
shortage of references to the Party in most studies related to
China. In its stead, the academic literature as well as popular
discussions has too often treated the CCP as a type of regime
destined to the dustbin of history. The inadequacy of research in
this area is understandable because CCP is a tightly organised
Leninist party which has kept much of its internal affairs
confidential. This book examines the key aspects of the
transformation of CCP in the rapidly changing national and global
context. It highlights the problems faced by the ruling Leninist
party in adapting to a capitalistic environment that its
organisations cannot fully control and its ideology cannot
effectively rationalise. It also examines CCP's strategies for
adaptation in the areas of ideological reformulation, party-society
relations and the ways of exercising power and maintaining internal
cohesion. In addition to helping the readers understand how China
is ruled and how the Chinese system operates, the book also
highlights the evolutionary dynamics of Chinese politics in the
environment created by CCP's reform and open-door policies.
