Summary:

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 ana lysis 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.
