The Political Thought of Xi Jinping
The Political Leadership of Xi Jinping: Narratives of Integrity Through Ordeal
Despite criticism that his leadership has been authoritarian and his regime tyrannical, President Xi Jinping has experienced continued success, influence, and widespread support among the Chinese people. This article investigates the ways in which Xi has successfully integrated his personal narrative, an account of personal integrity through ordeal, into the broader metanarratives of Chinese political development. Theoretically grounded in the So…
M ao Z edong (1893–1976)
Mao Zedong, a Marxist–Leninist revolutionary and a leader of the Chinese Communist Party for more than half a century, radically transformed the culture and political economy of China. An avowed nationalist, he unified China and began the processes of modernization and industrialization. However, Mao was fundamentally ambivalent about the minorities, and Chinese policies oscillated on the two poles of pluralism and assimilation. When pluralism wa…

Mao’s Crusade: Politics and Policy Implementation in China’s Great Leap Forward
During 1957 and 1958 Mao was seized by a vision that the Chinese economy could develop rapidly in leaps and bounds by relying on intuition and mass spontaneity. As a consequence, he single-handedly launched a colossal mobilization campaign called the Great Leap Forward, which featured many radical policy innovations, including the people's communes. This book is the first in-depth and original study of policy formulation and implementation during…

Leaders, coalition politics, and policy‐formulation in China: The great leap forward revisited
This article is a detailed critique of the thesis contained in David Bachman's book on the origins of the Great Leap Forward (GLF). By adopting the so‐called “neo‐institutional” approach, Bachman argues that Li Fuchun and Bo Yibo, leaders of a “Planning and Heavy Industry Coalition” “which had defeated a rival “Finance Coalition “ in 1957, were responsible for initiating and determining the development strategy of the GLF. It follows that Mao's r…
Critical Citizenship and Civil Society in Contemporary China

Critical citizenship is employed to indicate the presence of civil society in contemporary China. Using survey data gathered throughout China by Min Qi, the authors test hypotheses about the propensity of Chine…
