Description
Domination and Mobilization provides a comprehensive analysis of China’s political party system during the Republican period, a transformative era marked by revolutionary change and institutional experimentation. Xiaobo Lü traces the rise of various political parties and their strategies to consolidate power and mobilize the Chinese population across different regions and social classes.
The book examines the structural challenges that prevented these parties from establishing stable democratic institutions and maintaining popular support. Through detailed historical investigation, Lü explores the interplay between political ideology, military power, and social mobilization. This work offers valuable insights into why China’s early republican experiments ultimately collapsed and how subsequent political systems responded to these historical legacies.
Essential for understanding modern Chinese political development, this study reveals the complexities of state-building and democratization in early twentieth-century China.
