It argues that the communist judicial system was built when the CCP was engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the GMD, meaning that the overriding aim of the judicial system was, from the outset, to safeguard the Party against both internal and external adversaries. This fundamental insecurity and perennial fear of loss of power obsessed the Party throughout the era of Mao and beyond, prompting it to launch numerous political campaigns, which forced communist judicial cadres to choose between upholding basic legal norms and maintaining Party order. In doing all of this, The Communist Judicial System in China, 1927-1976: Building on Fear fills a major lacuna in our understanding of communist-era China. 410 0$aChina : from revolution to reform. 606 $aJustice, Administration of$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLaw$zChina -- 20th century -- History 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y1912-1949 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y1949-1976 610 $aFear, Communist Judicial System, Mao's China. 615 0$aJustice, Administration of$xHistory 615 0$aLaw 676 $a349.51 700 $aFang$b Qiang$f1968-$01218955 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554224403321 996 $aThe Communist judicial system in China, 1927-1976$92818799 997 $aUNINA
