China's Communist Party: Atrophy and Adaptation
David Shambaugh will be discussing his new book China's Communist Party: Atrophy and Adaptation.
Where
China's Communist Party: Atrophy and Adaptation is a new book by David Shambaugh, a Professor of Politics & International Affairs and Director of the China Policy Program at George Washington University
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 the CCP is resilient and will continue to retain its grip on power.
