Features: Political science is a discipline with a long history but relatively young in China as a foundational subject in the humanities and social sciences. Currently, in countries around the world, political science is widely regarded as an important field of study, forming a major department in comprehensive universities, and there is a rich body of literature on political issues. In China, while the research in political science is still relatively weak, its prospects for theoretical research and disciplinary development are very broad due to the importance of its field, the sharpness of the issues it addresses, and its initial achievements during the reform and opening-up process. This book is a concise yet professionally rigorous research-oriented textbook—concise in language, strong in summarization, not overly lengthy, and with theoretical depth. It adopts the basic framework of traditional political science, following the fundamental sections of class theory, state theory, party theory, democracy theory, and revolution theory. However, in its specific content, it strives to provide new interpretations in line with the times and develops them under a unified premise—the class nature and social nature. It is suitable for students from non-political majors.
