Features: Over a century of three major reassessments, each of which constructed a new knowledge system, category, concepts, discourse, and even paradigm for China. These reassessments provided new theoretical foundations and action plans for China's salvation and survival, the transformation of Chinese civilization, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the development of the Chinese revolution and modernization. As a result, Chinese social sciences moved towards society and the public, permeating people's entire spiritual and material lives, and infiltrating into the comprehensive transformation of social systems. Over a century of development in Chinese social sciences has provided a strong spiritual driving force and a solid spiritual support for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. During this century, Chinese social sciences underwent three large-scale reassessments of prior academic, intellectual, and cultural traditions. Each reassessment not only brought a major leap forward in social sciences but also sparked a widespread ideological liberation and significantly improved the quality of the public. In fact, the reassessment process continues to this day. This has shaped the character of Chinese social sciences—combining timeliness, progressiveness, and diversity. The book provides a comprehensive review of the development of Chinese political science over the 20th century, detailing the progress and achievements of its various sub-disciplines during this period, outlining major academic debates, introducing political science education and research institutions, academic associations, and academic exchanges. At the end of the book, there is a chronicle of significant events in the 100-year development of Chinese political science. It is an academic work that systematically summarizes the 100-year journey of Chinese political science.
