Features: Over a century of three major reassessments, each time constructing a new knowledge system, category, concepts, discourse, and even paradigm for China. These reassessments have 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 China's revolution and modernization. As a result, Chinese social sciences have moved closer to society and the public, permeating people's entire spiritual and material lives, and infiltrating into the comprehensive transformation of social systems. Over this century, the development of Chinese social sciences has provided a powerful spiritual driving force and a solid spiritual support for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In this century, Chinese social sciences have undergone three large-scale reassessments of prior academic, intellectual, and cultural traditions. Each reassessment has not only brought a major leap forward in social sciences but also brought about a widespread ideological liberation and a significant improvement in the quality of the public. In fact, the reassessment process continues to this day. This has shaped the character of Chinese social sciences that combines progressiveness, diversity, and adaptability to the times. The book provides a comprehensive review of the development of Chinese political science over the 20th century, detailing the progress and achievements of various branches of political science during this period, outlining major academic debates, introducing political science education and research institutions, academic associations, and academic exchanges during this time. At the end of the book, there is a chronicle of major events in the development of Chinese political science over the century. It is an academic work that comprehensively and systematically summarizes the development of Chinese political science over the past century.
