Features: Based on a thorough grasp of historical materialism and dialectical materialism, this book comprehensively and systematically presents the principles of Marxist political science according to the fundamental logical framework for analyzing social and political phenomena and political laws. It is characterized by solid theory, a rigorous structure, and strong logical coherence. Professor Liu Xinghan and Cao Peilin of Fudan University have a very clear purpose in writing this book: to thoroughly explore and study Marxist political thought and theory, and to present the Marxist political science system and each principle that constitutes it in a more systematic, complete, and profound manner. Therefore, this book is explicitly focused on Marxist political theory as its research subject. It is not just a political science book but, in reality, also a theoretical study of Marxism. In this sense, the contribution of this book is twofold.

In China, there are various works on Marxist research, covering a wide range of fields, but until now, no book has been dedicated to specifically studying Marxist political thought and theory and elevating it to the level of principles. To fill this gap and enrich Marxist research, the renowned political scientist Wang Huning served as the chief editor, with Professor Lin Shangli and Sun Guanhong of Fudan University as deputy editors, compiling this book. Based on a thorough grasp of historical materialism and dialectical materialism, it comprehensively and systematically presents the principles of Marxist political science according to the fundamental logical framework for analyzing social and political phenomena and political laws. This book serves as an important reference for researchers in sociology, particularly in political science and public administration, at universities, and is the preferred textbook for higher education.
