New perspectives are presented on an essential issue in CCP
historiography: Why when things were working reasonably well by
1956 did the Chinese Communist Party alienate its supporters with
radical policies? Placing CCP history firmly in the realm of social
history and comparative politics, these enlightening critiques
study the roots of the policy failures of the late Maoist period
and the remarkable tenacity of the CCP. New insights, surfacing
from case studies from the 1990s and recently available documents,
address the following: Why is state socialism in China neither the
wonder that some hope for nor a total failure? Why has the CCP
remained China's only party, while the CPSU in the former Soviet
Union -- and particularly the Eastern European socialist regimes
that were the same age as China's -- collapsed so quickly? Are
there any clues to the CCP's current longevity and radical reforms
under party leadership to be found in the formative period of this
one-party state?
