Features: Overseas Chinese Modern History Studies Collection. This book primarily explores the overall organization of the Kuomintang (including its predecessor groups), situating it within the broader structure of the state-society relationship. The scope of the study is essentially limited to the Guangdong region from the 1890s to the 1920s—the main stage of the Chinese revolutionary movement. The author attempts to conduct a comprehensive and theoretical examination of the relationships among parties, society, and the state in Guangdong, seeking to offer new perspectives on the historical significance of the Kuomintang and the political system it established, while also contributing to reflections on the future of China.
