Contemporary Chinese Marxism and the Marxist tradition: Globalisation, socialism and the search for ideological coherence
Since the concept of globalisation first appeared in the discourse of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the mid-1990s, there has been amongst Party theorists and Chinese scholars growing interes
Marxist Philosophy in China: From Qu Qiubai to Mao Zedong, 1923–1945
This book examines the introduction of Marxist philosophy to China from the early 1920s to the mid 1940s. It does this through an examination of the philosophical activities and writings of four Chinese Marxist philosophers central to this process. These are Qu Qiubai, Ai Siqi, Li Da and Mao Zedong. The book sets the philosophical writings of these philosophers in the context of the development of Marxist philosophy internationally, and examines …
Herman Gorter and the Origins of Marxism in China
Until 1921, the texts on Marxism aimed at reaching the Chinese Communist movement were dominated by an economic determinist interpretation of the materialist conception of history. Many Chinese converts to Marxism considered that belief in "orthodox" Marxism necessitated belief in its economic determinism. In 1921, with the publication in China of the famous Dutch Marxist Herman Gorter's An Explanation of the Materialist Conception of History, it…
Understanding Australia's Neighbours: An Introduction to East and Southeast Asia
The East and Southeast Asian region is of immense economic, strategic and cultural significance to Australia. It has also been important in defining Australia's national identity, and is the origin of many of Australia's immigrants. Australians therefore need to have some understanding of their northern neighbours, and to be able to think about them in an informed way. They need to do so not only to be able to understand the region in which they …

The Dilemma of Determinism: Qu Qiubai and the Origins of Marxist Philosophy in China
The initial theoretical preoccupation of theorists to the early Chinese Communist movement (that is, before 1923) was with the materialist conception of history and in particular the issue of the problematic relationship between the economic base and\nthe politico-ideological superstructure.’ This preoccupation resulted from a concern over the implied deterministic tendency within Marxist social theory and a desire for some reassurance that human…
The theory and tactics of the Communist Party of Australia (M-L)
The Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist) (hereafter CPA [M-L]) remained, even at the peak of its influence, an "isolated sect," with estimates of its tiny membership ranging from 100 to 200. Even at its peak, its influence was, apart from a few members in Queensland and New South Wales, largely restricted to the state of Victoria

Guest editor's introduction
On contradiction and on new democracy: Contrasting perspectives on causation and social change in the thought of Mao Zedong
A central theoretical problem of Marxist social philosophy has been the extent to which the economic realm influences politics and ideology, and how independent politics and ideology can be from this influence as they develop historically. Within the tradition of Marxism that became orthodox under Stalin, the solution to this problem has been cast largely in terms of economic determination of the political and ideological superstructure; that is,…

Mao ZeDong's On Contradiction and On Practice: Pre-Liberation Texts
Despite the flood of Mao's previously unknown works released by Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution, no pre-liberation versions of his “celebrated philosophical essays” On Contradiction and On Practice came to light from that source. This gap in the Red Guard material may have been viewed as significant, confirming suspicions held by some that there were in fact no pre-liberation versions of these essays, and showing more conclusively the m…
