DESCRIPTION:Drawing inspiration from the PRC’s Leninist origins\, Dimitar G
 ueorguiev offers a novel explanation for how China’s ruling Communist Part
 y maintains control despite facing increasingly complex governing challeng
 es. The key to the CCP’s staying power\, he argues\, is its ability to int
 egrate authoritarian control and mass inclusion—an organizational task now
  facilitated by technology. Relying on opinion polls\, public records\, me
 dia reporting\, and interviews\, Gueorguiev shows how public input feeds i
 nto political oversight and policy planning that exceeds the expectations 
 of a typical top-down organization. The marriage between state control and
  social inclusion is at risk\, however\, with signs of political apathy an
 d public mistrust pointing to an increasingly controlling yet disconnected
  surveillance state.
