Recenzje

'Lee's book provides a comprehensive understanding of how marketization has changed cadre training, and allowed the CCP to use the party school system to adapt to new governance challenges and maintain the elite cohesion needed by single-party regimes. … Despite the complexity, all of this information is incredibly valuable and I consider the book to be a great reference guide to understanding the party school system, as well as a contribution to the mechanisms underpinning the resilience of the CCP.' Jessica C. Teets, Journal of Chinese Political Science
