Few issues affect the future of China--and hence all the
nations that interact with China--more than the nature of
its ruling party and government. In this timely study, David
Shambaugh assesses the strengths and weaknesses, durability,
adaptability, and potential longevity of China's Communist
Party (CCP). He argues that although the CCP has been in a
protracted state of atrophy, it has undertaken a number of
adaptive measures aimed at reinventing itself and
strengthening its rule. Shambaugh's investigation draws on a
unique set of inner-Party documents and interviews, and he
finds that China's Communist Party is resilient and will
continue to retain its grip on power.
