Book The Uniqueness of China s Development Model

Download or read book The Uniqueness of China s Development Model written by Kwok-wah Yip and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2012 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses the development model of China which has now overtaken Japan as the world''s second largest economy. This remarkable economic achievement has not followed the Western world''s favorite developmental tools OCo of freedom, democracy and a market driven economy, but rather China''s unique model OCo of one-party authoritarian rule with a mixed economy. The Middle Kingdom''s way of development has largely questioned the West''s core values OCo freedom and democracy. The book argues that the model is based on the country''s 3,000-year-old civilization, forged by the efforts, innovations, trial and error process of several recent generations, and guided by the Chinese Communist Party in the past 60 years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few issues affect the future of China--and hence all the nations that interact with China--more than the nature of its ruling party and government. In this timely study, David Shambaugh assesses the strengths and weaknesses, durability, adaptability, and potential longevity of China's Communist Party (CCP). He argues that although the CCP has been in a protracted state of atrophy, it has undertaken a number of adaptive measures aimed at reinventing itself and strengthening its rule. Shambaugh's investigation draws on a unique set of inner-Party documents and interviews, and he finds that China's Communist Party is resilient and will continue to retain its grip on power.

Book The Chinese Communist Party in Reform

Download or read book The Chinese Communist Party in Reform written by Kjeld Erik Brødsgaard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to the expectations of many people, China's recent economic growth has not led to the collapse of the Chinese Communist Party. In fact, the Party has recently carried out a peaceful and orderly transition to the so-called fourth generation of leadership, has revitalised itself, and created a new, younger and better trained cadre corps. Despite this successful transformation, there continue to be many problems that the Party will need to overcome if it is to remain in power, including pressures for democratization in both urban and rural areas, widespread corruption, the emergence of new social groups, and increasing dissatisfaction among workers who seem to be losing out in the present transition process. The Chinese Communist Party in Reform explores the current state of the Chinese Communist Party and the many challenges that it faces. It considers the dynamics of development in China, the Party organization, recruitment and management, and the Party's role in society more widely. It concludes by examining the prospects for the future of the Party, including whether it will continue to be able to accommodate socio-economic changes within China and pressures from abroad, and the likely nature of its evolution. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive assessment of the internal dynamics of the Chinese Communist Party and its role in Chinese society.

Book Communists constructing capitalism

Download or read book Communists constructing capitalism written by Julian Gruin and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has China’s ‘transition’ to a market economy not catalysed corresponding political transformation? In an era of deepening synergy between authoritarian politics and capitalist economics, this book offers a novel perspective on this central dilemma of contemporary Chinese development, shedding light on how the Chinese Communist Party achieved rapid economic growth while preserving political stability. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and over sixty interviews with policymakers, bankers and former party and state officials, the book delves into the role of China’s state-owned banking system since 1989, showing how political control over capital has been central to the country’s experience of capitalist development. It challenges existing state-market paradigms of political economy and reveals the Eurocentric assumptions underpinning liberal perspectives towards Chinese authoritarian resilience.

Book The Labors of Sisyphus

Download or read book The Labors of Sisyphus written by Joan Roland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost a half century has passed since the inception of the People's Republic cf China. In that time a charismatic leader has ruled and died, leaving a wake of .Destruction in his quest to transform China. In that time, too, the PRC's most powerful ally and mentor, the Soviet Union, has dismantled and announced that jcmmunism had failed. Today, China fluctuates between tradition and modernity, ideology and pragmatism, between an antiquated collectivist ethic and a new spirit rf individualism. It is a country precariously suspended between past and future. Maria Hsia Chang's The Labors of Sisyphus is a long overdue reassessment of rie meaning and purpose of the Chinese communist revolution. In it, she discusses ihe thought of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, reform and its dilemmas, regionalism in greater China and autonomous areas, and nationalism. She also eyjnines China's immediate present and uncertain future. If it manages to transform economic growth into development, China--filled with natural resources and a large, capable labor force--has the potential to become a world superpower. It could also collapse under the weight of its own problems: regionalism, a flawed state sector, corruption, and a pronounced decline in state capacity. If China succeeds, an imposing new economic power will enter the global stage, one that is often arbitrary and prone to despotism and xenophobia, unless it is tempered by political reform. Prior accounts of communist China have failed to capture China's evolving present In all its complexity and variety, misrepresenting Maoist China In the process. Information shortfall was partly to blame: as recently as August 1994, the Chinese government itself decried falsification of statistics by government officials and cadres. Sinologists in the 1960s and 1970s had to approach analysis of contemporary China with clear recognition of the limitations involved and the questionable validity of the factual sources available. Maria Hsia Chang lends structure, meaning, and purpose to the very complex recent political and historical past of communist China. With greater access to more accurate information, Chang is able to analyze objectively, without political motive or intention, providing readers with a fresh look at the People's Republic. Her pathbreaking work will be of interest to scholars of international economics and politics, sinologists, and historians.

Book Bringing the Party Back in

Download or read book Bringing the Party Back in written by Kjeld Erik Brødsgaard and published by Marshall Cavendish Academic. This book was released on 2004 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 66 million members in its ranks, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the largest ruling party in the world. Yet, for two decades, the CCP has been marginalized in the field of China study, despite the fact that the CCP continues to dominate both China's domestic development and external affairs amidst radical changes to communist parties in otherparts of the world. For better or for worse, the impact of any major changes in the CCP will go beyond China's national boundary. the analyses and research in this book look at how the CCP has been able to avoid the predicted breakdown of its regime and instead revitalize itself by reaching out to new social forces and strengthening its organisational machine. in this way, the book brings the CCP back into the focal point of our understanding of China's development.

Book The Economy of Communist China  1949 1969

Download or read book The Economy of Communist China 1949 1969 written by Chu-Yuan Cheng and published by U of M Center for Chinese Studies. This book was released on 2020-08 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic development in mainland China during the first two decades of Communist control provides a typical example for the difficult task to transform a vast underdeveloped agrarian economy into a modern industrial one. In the first half of this period, a series of massive transformations of social and economic institutions was accompanied by a drafted industrialization program; the result was an impressive speed-up in economic growth. The second decade witnessed an economic crisis (1960-62) and a political upheaval (1966-68). These disruptions marred the economic performance over the period as a whole. Consequently, the long-term growth rate appears to have been only moderate.The Economy of Communist China reviews selected aspects of the economy. After examining the development strategy, it analyzes the quantitative trends and the structural changes. The book goes on to analyze the key factors contributing to the earlier growth and the elements responsible for the later disruption and finally assesses the impact of the Cultural Revolution on the Chinese economy and the prospects of the current Third Five-Year Plan.The text includes a bibliography of selected materials on Chinese economic development.

This book was released on 2020-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Communist Party of China: An Ideological History of the Communist Party of China is a scholarly 3 volume set, which is a very accessible study of the largest ruling political party in the world, with over 90 million members. The examination of the CPC and its powerful reach and influence into every corner of the state, society and economy of China is imperative to anyone interested in macro-geopolitical history. Due to the party's secrecy and tight control over access to its historical archives, the CPC is also one of the least understood of executive government bodies in the world. This comprehensive exploration and account of the Party brings insights not revealed in most others works on the subject in English. Written by renowned experts on CPC's history, this comprehensive exploration and account traces the development of the thought underlying the CPC's policies, methods, and actions since its establishment in 1921. Bringing together the best political scholars from China, the United States, and the United Kingdom and working on this collection for more than three years, the keys are provided to understand why the Communist Party of China is capable of governing such a diverse and huge country while leading China to become the global giant it is today. This insightful analysis of the Party's own narrative of its ideological progress over nearly a century affords a view rarely available in any other English-language publication about the Communist Party of China. Volume I covers the period from the founding of the Party through a turbulent period of armed revolutionary struggle to the establishment of the new China in 1949. Volume II picks up there and continues through 1978, the year the Reform and Opening Up policy was launched. Volume III traces the various policies and development of the CPC's ideology through the Reform and Opening Up era up until the present time. The key issues of each historical period are covered in great detail, with careful analysis of the errors and rectification of errors that led to the ultimate development of a sound Marxist policies suited to the actual current socio-economic conditions of contemporary.To understand China, one has to understand the Chinese Communist Party. China's economic rise, its human rights record, its turbulent history and relations with the United States must be examined and understood through the central issues related to how the ruling Communist government works. This is the first monograph on the ideological history of the Communist Party of China in the English-speaking world. Academics, students, researchers, China affairs experts and any individual interested in political science and current geopolitical realities will learn much from reading this soon-to-be classic in contemporary Sino studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining the changing political economy in China through detailed studies of the peasantry, workers, middle classes, and the dominant class, this volume reveals the Communist Party of China’s (CCP’s) impact on social change in China between 1978 and 2021. This book explores in depth the CCP’s programme of reform and openness that had a dramatic impact on China’s socio-economic trajectory following the death of Mao Zedong and the end of the Cultural Revolution. It also goes on to chart the acceptance of Market Socialism, highlighting the resulting emergence of a larger middle class, while also appreciating the profound consequences this created for workers and peasants. Additionally, this volume examines the development of the dominant class which remains a defining feature of China’s political economy and the Party-state. Providing an in-depth analysis of class as understood by the CCP in conjunction with sociological interpretations of socio-economic and socio-political change, this study will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese Politics, Chinese History, Asian Politics, and Asian studies.

Book The Chinese Communist Party and China s Capitalist Revolution

Download or read book The Chinese Communist Party and China s Capitalist Revolution written by Lance Gore and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-11-08 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese Communist Party and China’s Capitalist Revolution examines issues of political change and development in China. In the last 30 years China has experienced a profound political transformation and a degree of political progress but these are largely mired in the assumption that the free market is inherently incompatible with communism, and the perceived lack of political reforms in China. Indeed, there has not been much in the sense of democratization, multi-party competition, freedom of speech and association, but as this book demonstrates, political development is not limited to these factors. Based on extensive empirical investigations of the impact of the market on the communist party, with a particular focus on its grassroots organisations, this book finds that the Chinese communist party is undergoing profound changes in a host of important areas. By analyzing the impact of China’s socioeconomic transformation on the CCP and the adaptations of the Party to the new environment the book takes stock of the nature and dynamics of political change underway in China. The author concludes that the Chinese communist party we knew no longer exists—it is evolving into something quite different, which must have political implications for both China and the rest of the world. Professor Lance L. P. Gore is a political scientist specializing in contemporary Chinese politics at The East Asian Institute, National University of Singapore.
