Description: Factional-Ideological Conflicts in Chinese Politics : To the Left or to the Right?, Hardcover by Cheung, Olivia, ISBN 9463720294, ISBN-13 9789463720298, Brand New, Free shipping in the US 1. Innovative theory on political organization of the Communist Party: Th introduces the theory of 'factional model-making’ to study open political contention in a single party-state that bans factions and requires all party members to toe the party line. 2. The study of ideology: It explores the content of the main ideological conflicts in Chinese politics from the 1960s to 2012, explains the functions of ideology in Chinese politics, and the implications of all these to understanding the nature of the Party and 'ideological revival’ under Xi. 3. Interesting case studies: It makes use of a wealth of primary Chinese sources to present five in-depth case studies—Dazhai, Anhui, Nanjie, Shenzhen versus Shekou, and Guangdong versus Chongqing. This includes sources that have not been previously analyzed in the literature. The analysis generates important but little-known empirical findings. This book reconstructs the factional-ideological conflicts surrounding socialist transformation and political reform in China that were played out through 'factional model-making’, a norm-bound mechanism for elites of the Chinese Communist Party to contest the party line publicly. Dazhai, Anhui, Nanjie, Shekou, Shenzhen, Guangdong and Chongqing were cultivated into factional models by party elites before Xi Jinping came to power in 2012. Although factional model-making undermined party discipline, it often did not threaten regime security and even contributed to regime resilience through strengthening collective leadership and other means. This follows that the suppression of factional model-making under Xi might undermine longer-term regime resilience. However, Xi believes that regime security rests on his strongman rule, not any benefits that factional model-making may contribute. It is in this spirit that he grooms Zhejiang into a party model for his policy programme of common prosperity, which is designed to legitimize his vision of socialism.
