Features: Since modern times, Chinese society has faced two major historical tasks: one is to achieve national independence and people's liberation, and the other is to realize national prosperity, democracy, and civilization. Based on Marxist political development theory and incorporating reasonable elements of modern Western political development theory, this book closely links the history of the Chinese nation's struggle for independence, liberation, and the realization of prosperous, democratic, and civilized modernization. It argues that only by achieving a transition to socialist political development, enhancing the country's comprehensive control capabilities, can the nation be guided onto the path of modernization. On this basis, it further proposes continuous reforms of the political system, gradual expansion of socialist democracy, and deepening the development of socialist political theory, ultimately elevating the nation's control capabilities to a higher level, thereby achieving national prosperity and strength.
The book is divided into nine chapters, reflecting the unity of history and logic in the development of Chinese politics, with systematic and comprehensive structural integrity. It also introduces general theories of political development, discusses the relationship between the conditions of modern China and political development, and provides further prospects for China's political development in the 21st century. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of political science in universities and also as a reference for cadres at all levels.
