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.
