      abstract = {This volume explores the governing mechanism employed by  the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the light of state  capacity building. It is built on the premise that regime  type notwithstanding, boosting state capacity and utilizing  it in their political survival is of crucial concern for  any political leader. Xi Jinping, who is no exception to  this, has called for the necessity to expand state capacity  while he aims to centralize the power under the party. This  volume stands out as it offers a comprehensive view of  Chinese party-state, especially under Xi Jinping. The  research presented here is built on the analysis of  authentic datasets and materials. It examines the CCPs  relations with various state organs in the Chinese  political system, mainly, administrative organs,  legislature (the peoples congresses), judicial branch (the  peoples court system), as well as the military (the Peoples  Liberation Army) and state-owned enterprises. This volume  attempts to bring China closer to the field of comparative  politics making it a more comparable case. },
