Zusammenfassung:"Through empirical analysis and conceptual development, this book analyses the political psychology of Xi Jinping's Anti-Corruption Campaign and its role in the Chinese political system. Using Nietzsche's concept of ressentiment and data collected from direct fieldwork, the book analyses the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) dictatorship, revealing that it is prone to extremes, through ideology or corruption, and highlights how the party's attempts to address one extreme only leads to the rise of another. In turn it examines the Anti-Corruption Campaign in multiple ways including its use to increase the role of ideology in Chinese society, how it functions to concentrate Xi's power, its cultural form as a status reversal ritual, and its continuity with previous communist campaigns and ancient Chinese political traditions. Through each of these analyses the book identifies crucial mechanisms through which the CCP maintains power through interrelated policies, actions, and their emotional effects. Providing a vital understanding of the CCP, this book will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars of Chinese politics as well as diplomats and policy makers on China"--
