Crisis of Mao's Chinese Party-State - Prof. Pratap Bhanu Mehta

Описание: In this lecture, Pratap Bhanu Mehta examines the Chinese Party-State as an enduring political form, tracing its Leninist origins and Maoist adaptations.

He argues that the crisis of the Party-State and the crisis of liberal democracy are not separate, but part of a deeper crisis in modern political theory, where politics seeks to ground its own legitimacy without recourse to transcendental authority or fixed moral ends.

The discussion engages with Mao’s ideas on class, contradiction, power, and the limits of utopian thinking, offering a rigorous framework to understand contemporary Chinese political thought.

Prof. Pratap Bhanu Mehta is a prominent Indian political scientist, academic, and public intellectual known for his critiques on Indian democracy, liberalism, and constitutional issues.
