The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the largest and one of the
most powerful, political organizations in the world today, which
has played a crucial role in initiating most of the major reforms
of the past three decades in China. China 's rapid rise has enabled
the CCP to extend its influence throughout the globe, but the West
remains uncertain whether the CCP will survive China 's ongoing
socio-economic transformation and become a democratic country.
With rapid socio-economic transformation, the CCP has itself
experienced drastic changes. Zheng Yongnian argues that whilst the
concept of political party in China was imported, the CCP is a
Chinese cultural product: it is an entirely different breed of
political party from those in the West - an organizational emperor,
wielding its power in a similar way to Chinese emperors of the
past. Using social and political theory, this book examines the CCP
's transformation in the reform era, and how it is now struggling
to maintain the continuing domination of its imperial power. The
author argues that the CCP has managed these changes as a proactive
player throughout, and that the nature of the CCP implies that as
long as the party is transforming itself in accordance to
socio-economic changes, the structure of party dominion over the
state and society will not be allowed to change.
