Corruption and Anti-Corruption in Modern China collects essays from
the scholars in their fields and examines the ongoing corruption in
China by addressing this important topic from a historical
perspective through a cooperative interdisciplinary research effort
among Chinese-American scholars interested in the subject. Their
scholarship makes a significant contribution through multi-faceted
components from different fields such as history, economics,
political science, criminal justice, and popular culture. The
authors introduce and explore the theory and practice of policy
patterns, political systems, and social institutions by identifying
key issues in Chinese government and society contained within the
larger framework of the international sphere. This book describes a
historical transition when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
maintained its forceful control of cities while the middle class
reluctantly sacrificed its rights in exchange for retaining their
economic benefits. To survive market economy, the party leadership
became more flexible and was able to adapt to economic and social
change. The CCP governments in our research responded to the rising
demands and expectations of the society. They were willing and able
to cope with the middle class by making a few compromises and
following certain legal procedures in exchange for continuing
political support. These practical comprises characterized a new
political culture in PRC history since 1949. The book voices the
complaints and resentments in the cities, and interprets government
policies and legal practices. It emphasizes the consequence for
governance, human rights, and commercial rule of law, all of which
threatens the legitimacy of the CCP. It also suggests an important
evolution of the CCP. The reform movement since the 1980s has not
yet contributed significantly to the country's democratic
transformation or to its social stability. The leaders in the 1990s
focused on liberal economic reform while discouraging and even
stifling political reform. As a result, economic interest groups
successfully established an alliance with CCP officials to control
economic policy-making and to share political governance. In the
2010s, Chinese leaders have paid special attention to political
scandals, corruption, and mismanagement in the government and in
the Party.
