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.

For a long time, people outside China often forgot that China is a communist state. In many ways it was more capitalistic than some paragons of capitalism—for example, the United States and Great Britain. However, since 2012, the Communist Party of China (CPC) under General Secretary Xi Jinping's stewardship has abruptly—seemingly—reverted to the grand tradition of communism. Ideology and politics once again take command in China. Unlike the half-hearted efforts of his predecessors Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, Xi Jinping has given top priority to Party rectification, integrating it within his grand plan for "socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era". This ideological and policy turn has strained China's relationship with liberal democracies and brought China to the brink of a new Cold War with the United States and some US allies. Arguably, it has also contributed to the drastic slowdown of the Chinese economy. Why did the CPC make such a move that appears detrimental to China's rise?(China/GIGA)

Market-driven socioeconomic change in the past decades has transformed the social composition and the class base of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It has also eroded the institutional foundation of the CCP's grassroots organizations and redefined the relationship between party members and the Party. While the structure of a Leninist party remains, the nature the Party and the way it exercise power are undergoing fundamental change. The new dynamic in party-society relations and the rise of status-quo interests within the Party dictate that authoritarian accommodation is the default path of the CCP's evolution, not imminent regime collapse or democratic transition.

The application of the developmental state concept outside its birthplace in East Asia is generally unsuccessful. The culprit is the 'laundry list' method commonly seen in the literature. In this paper a 'strategic capacity' conceptualisation is used instead, with emphasis on its diverse institutional underpinnings. The paper demonstrates that the Chinese state's approach to industrial relations is integrated with its national development strategy and that crafting institutions of labour management is part of the state's effort at building up its strategic capacity for political, social and economic management. The study delineates the factors shaping labour management institutions, paying special attention to the communist heritage that sets China apart from other developmental states. As such, the concept of developmental state has much wider application. Adapted from the source document.
