From Marxist revolution and class struggle to market reforms and national rejuvenation, the Communist Party of China has monopolized political power in China since 1949. In this interdisciplinary volume, international experts explore the ideology, strategies and mechanisms underpinning the Party's unparalleled durability.

The Communist Party of China has ruled mainland China since 1949. From Marxist revolution and class struggle to market reforms and national rejuvenation, the Party has repeatedly reinvented itself and its justification for monopolizing political power. Bringing together experts from a range of disciplines around the globe, this collection serves as a guide to understanding the Party's unparalleled durability. They examine a range of themes including the mechanics and organisation of one-party rule, the ideologies underpinning party rule, the Party's control of public discourse, technologies of social control, and adaptive policymaking. Read together, these essays provide a comprehensive understanding of the reasons for the Party's continued grip on political power in China today.
