Where the Party Rules: The Rank and File of China's Communist State by Daniel Ko

Description: Where the Party Rules by Daniel Koss Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description How does the Chinese Communist Party govern away from Beijing? Daniel Koss shows how eighty million rank and file Communist Party members empower the state in villages and companies throughout the country. He traces local differences to their twentieth-century roots, bringing new insight to Maoist politics. Publisher Description In most non-democratic countries, today governing forty-four percent of the world population, the power of the regime rests upon a ruling party. Contrasting with conventional notions that authoritarian regime parties serve to contain elite conflict and manipulate electoral-legislative processes, this book presents the case of China and shows that rank and-file members of the Communist Party allow the state to penetrate local communities. Subnational comparative analysis demonstrates that in red areas with high party saturation, the state is most effectively enforcing policy and collecting taxes. Because party membership patterns are extremely enduring, they must be explained by events prior to the Communist takeover in 1949. Frontlines during the anti-colonial Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) continue to shape Chinas political map even today. Newly available evidence from the Great Leap Forward (1958–1961) and the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) shows how a strong local party basis sustained the regime in times of existential crisis. Author Biography Daniel Koss is Assistant Research Fellow at the Institute of Political Science of Academia Sinica, Taipei. Prior to this appointment, he was a post doctoral fellow at the Harvard Academy for International and Area studies.
