While reform processes have brought other actors into the Chinese political process, the Communist Party remains the most important actor in Chinese politics, argue Br o>dsgaard (international business, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark) and Zheng (East Asian Institute, National U. of Singapore). They present 10 papers on Party governance in China that seek to answer the twin questions of how the Party has adapted to rapid socio-economic transformation and how it has engaged in its transition in order to remain at the heat of that transformation. Addressing questions of ideology and organization, the papers look at such topics as civil-military relationships, the management of Party cadres, the political management of mayors, Party legitimacy in rural areas, and relationships between the Party and private entrepreneurs.
