Politics and Political Development in the People's Republic of China
GOVT 297 SP
Despite the collapse of the USSR and Eastern European communist regimes since 1989, the PRC has retained a one-party regime while it continues its economic reforms begun in 1978, before reforms in other communist
counties
got under way. In contrast to former communist regimes, the PRC is attempting socialist market reforms while retaining the people's democratic dictatorship under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. We shall
examine
the politics of this anomaly, looking into the traditional and Republican antecedents to the PRC regime, and evaluate the potential for China's democratization.
