Whilst the Chinese Communist Party is one of the most powerful
political institutions in the world, it is also one of the least
understood, due to the party's secrecy and tight control over the
archives, the press and the Internet. Having governed the People's
Republic of China for nearly 70 years though, much interest remains
into how this quintessentially Leninist party governs one-fifth of
the world and runs the world's second-largest economy. The
Routledge Handbook of the Chinese Communist Party gives a
comprehensive and multi-faceted picture of the party's traditions
and values - as well as its efforts to stay relevant in the
twenty-first century. It uses a wealth of contemporary data and
qualitative analysis to explore the intriguing relationship between
the party on the one hand, and the government, the legal and
judicial establishment and the armed forces, on the other. Tracing
the influence of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, as well as Mao
Zedong, on contemporary leaders ranging from Deng Xiaoping and
Jiang Zemin to Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping, the sections cover: the
party's history and traditions; how the party works and seeks to
remain relevant; major policy arenas; the CCP in the twenty-first
century. The Routledge Handbook of the Chinese Communist Party will
be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese Politics, Asian
Politics, Political Parties and International Relations. Go to

Renowned for his coverage of China's elite politics and leadership
transitions, veteran Sinologist Willy Lam has produced the first
book-length study in English of the rise of Xi Jinping--General
Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since November 2012.
With rare insight, Lam describes Xi's personal history and his
fascination with quasi-Maoist values, the factional politics
through which he ascended, the configuration of power of the
Fifth-Generation leadership, and the country's likely future
directions under the charismatic "princeling." Despite an
undistinguished career as a provincial administrator, Xi has
rapidly amassed more power than his predecessors. He has overawed
his rivals and shaken up the party-state hierarchy by launching
large-scale anti-corruption and rectification campaigns. With a
strong power base in the People's Liberation Army and a vision of
China as an "awakening lion," Xi has been flexing China's military
muscle in sovereignty rows with countries including Japan, Vietnam,
and the Philippines while trying to undermine the influence of the
United States in the Asia-Pacific region. While Xi is still
fine-tuning his art of governance, his zero tolerance for dissent
and his preoccupation with upholding the privileges of the "red
aristocracy" and the CCP's status as "perennial ruling party" do
not bode well for economic, political, or cultural reforms. Lam
takes a close look at Xi's ideological and political profile and
considers how his conservative outlook might shape what the new
strongman calls "the Great Renaissance of the Chinese race."

The Fight for China's Future throws light on the quintessence of
21st century Chinese politics through the prism of the struggle
