Features: How does China, a super-large-scale society, achieve effective and rational governance? This book argues that with the deepening of globalization, the gradual perfection of the market economy, and the increasing maturity of modern society, the development of Chinese politics requires the political party-state system to continuously move towards the rationalization of public power. The characteristics of the political party-state system are the party governing in place of the state and the integration of politics and society. This system has historical rationality and is an essential reflection of the centralized period in the process of building a rational state. The new stage of democratization requires the rational differentiation of the structure of the party and government as well as politics and society. Therefore, the governance of the Communist Party of China must rely on the governance structures of the modern state and modern society to promote the construction and growth of a rational state in terms of values, systems, and organizations. Through the study of the rationalization of Chinese public power, this book presents and reveals the logic and reality of the growth of a rational state in a super-large-scale society.
