Beskrivning
This book examines how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has sought to legitimise its counter-terrorism strategy in the eyes of its domestic and international audiences. An important element of CCP policy in Xinjiang has been the deployment of ordinary Chinese citizens, or the 'mass line,’ to create new realities on the ground. This book explores how the history of ideological struggle in the PRC has taken on new characteristics, as well as offering insight into how the CCP has maintained legitimacy in the eyes of its population, even as it pursues policies which are internationally controversial, shedding light on the past and future of the behaviour of the Chinese state, a subject of interest to China scholars, scholars of the Belt and Road, and counter-terrorism experts.

Recensioner i media

“Chi Zhang’s Legitimacy of China’s Counter-Terrorism Approach. The Mass Line Ethos sheds light on the ideological foundations and practical implications of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) counter-terrorism approach. As such, the book offers a timely critical assessment of the Chinese state’s action in Xinjiang from a Chinese scholarly perspective that takes the CCP’s ‘Mass Line’ ethos as a conceptual framework.” (Pablo A. Rodríguez-Merino, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 76 (3), 2024)“Legitimacy of China’s Counter-Terrorism Approach remains a noteworthy contribution to the field. It is concisely written and contains both insight and provocative arguments relevant to not only specialists in Xinjiang and Uyghur studies but also those with an interest in Chinese security policy and terrorism and counter-terrorism studies.” (Michael Clarke, The China Quarterly, July 31, 2023)
