Ling Li unveils the often-hidden inner workings of China’s Party-state. The Chinese Communist Party has crafted and relied on an integrated regulatory system, where politics and law are fused, to govern both its internal operations and its relations with the state. Drawing on two decades of in-depth research, Li delves into the ‘black box’ of decision-making in the Party-state, analyzing the motivations and strategies that drive individual and institutional choices in corruption, anti-corruption investigations, and power struggles at the Politburo. This insightful book reveals the critical role of rules and institution-building within the Party, illuminates the complex relationship between corruption and regime stability, and captures the evolving dynamics of Party-state relations. A must-read for students, academics, business leaders, and policymakers alike, this book is an indispensable guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of law, politics, and governance in China and its global implications.
