"This book fills a crying need for a readable yet thorough text on Chinese politics that provides a clear analysis and description of the Chinese political process itself while also putting it in a comparative context. Guo's work describes the formal structure and informal workings of the Chinese political system, with attention to the Chinese cultural and Marxist ideological backgrounds, showing the relevance of the study of Chinese politics to more general empirical theories in political science." - Peter Moody, Professor of Political Science at The University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana."This textbook is an excellent example of combining theories of Chinese political studies with comprehensions of PRC political practices. It is written with insights penetrating into the essence of the Chinese political system and perspectives positioning this system in the comparative contexts of world communism and international politics — its depth has reached an admirable level of scholarship." - Guoguang Wu, Professor of Political Science and Chair in China and Asia-Pacific Relations, University of Victoria, Canada."Among the numerous textbooks on Chinese politics and government available to students, Sujian Guo’s book stands out as a unique and provocative one...a well-researched, comprehensive, interesting book with theoretical cogency and a provocative argument." - Ming Xia, Journal of Chinese Political Science 2015 20, pages 477–478
