Abstract
The writer argues that the Russian Communist Party has the ability to return to power in Russia if the political climate remains constant. The paper cites the decline of power Russia has within the international system as a potential impetus for the rise of communism. The paper discusses both sides of the argument: giving proofs of the possible rebirth of communism and the reasons why such a growth would be unlikely.
From the Paper
"Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, there has been much debate in Russian society as well as the world on the possibilities of the Russian communist party coming back into power in Russia. The Russian communist party held power from 1917 ? 1991 during the time of the Soviet Union. The Russian communist party had a monopoly in power during the time of the Soviet Union until its collapse in 1991. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation has gone over some remarkable changes within Russian society. Free elections are now held for the presidency, and parliament, there is expanded rights for Russian citizens for them to speak their minds openly, and the influx of Western culture coming into Russia and transformed Russia into a strong consumer of Western goods and ideals."

Abstract
This paper discusses Ronald J. Hill and Peter Frank's book "The Soviet Communist Party" which attempts to introduce the West to the finer points of Communist Party rule in the Soviet Union. It examines the book topic by topic and looks at how the authors manage to put across details of the organizations, institutions, legal structures and personnel of the Communist system. It evaluates how the authors link much of their discussion directly to historical events and time periods, giving the reader a sense of how their topic relates to the real world.
From the Paper
"Under "Party Membership" the authors give attention to the details of party membership, including seeking such membership, the documents involved, the assessment of candidates, and the significance of achieving party membership. Membership involved certain obligations as well as benefits. Among the obligations were learning the principles of "communist morality," including identification with the concept of the collective, with respect for the working man, with comradely cooperation, patriotism, and the struggle against bourgeois ideology. The member was also expected to set an example to others, fulfill obligations to the party, and remain devoted to the cause."

Abstract
The paper looks at the ideas of Daniel C. Lynch in his article "Dilemmas of Thought Work in Fin de Siecle China", Gordon White in "Riding the Tiger" and Feng Chen in "Rebuilding the Party's Normative Authority." The paper discusses how these writers show that those who anticipated capitalism as the bringer of democracy did not understand the largely administrative but also intellectual role played by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as well as the low expectations of the Chinese regarding the CCP. The paper explains how all three articles show signs of the CCP attempting to show its sovereignty, but is challenged by ordinary Chinese indifference.
Outline:
Introduction
Daniel C. Lynch
Gordon White
Feng Chen
Analysis and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Daniel Lynch reviewed the nature of thought-work in the People's Republic of China (PRC) at the end of the 20th century and explained the failure of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to regain control over thought-work or to build the long promised socialist-spiritual civilization for which the Chinese masses were instructed to be patient, for so very long. Society and culture in the PRC have changed radically since the rise of Chinese capitalism in relation to the forces of Globalization. Gordon White wrote on ideological decay as one price of the Reform Era's economic and social changes, what seemed a mere shift to a mixed economy in 1978 taking on all sorts of mammoth changes through the later 1980s and 1990s to make much CCP ideology irrelevant. Feng Chen referred to the CCP as an institution that was under renovation and which described itself as the proper normative authority. However, as all three agree, the role of the CCP and Beijing has been more and more concerned with ordinary administration and laws and policies serving the all-important business sector."

Abstract
In the wake of the intellectual revolution in China, one major political event developed as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917, namely, the rise of the Communist Party, which played a major role in shaping the course of the contemporary history of China. This paper looks at the challenges faced by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Kuomintang (KMT). It examines the influence of Mao Tse Tung and the international influences of Mao and the CCP. The paper includes a full introduction and conclusion.
From the Paper
"Though deeply committed to international communism, Mao and the CCP were national communists at heart and were keenly aware of China?s place in the international arena. Most importantly, the Soviet Union promoted China?s interests by allowing her to play a major role in the affairs of Asia, one being Peking as the site for the Asian and Australasian Trade Union Conference in 1949. China?s relations with other Asian states also reflected her intense drive for leadership in Asia in such countries as Korea and Vietnam. In regard to non-communist states such as India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Burma, Laos and Cambodia, the CCP attempted to neutralize them by expressing a mutual respect for each other?s territory and sovereignty, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference in each other?s domestic affairs, an equality of relationships and mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence."

Abstract
This paper examines domestic as well as international factors to argue that the CCP is on its last leg. Arguments ranging from ancient cultural facets of Chinese society to increased desire for democracy in the populous (due to the western pop culture influx) bodes badly for the strict communist party.
From the Paper
"Despite the urgency of the aforementioned hindrances, the most general and yet most important amongst the obstacles facing communist China today is the lack of credibility and trust the government has with its citizens. The abovementioned corruption and discord, combined with a tendency to deceive and forcefully repress, causes a lack of confidence in the government: "China ruthlessly maintains a single-party dictatorship ...there is very little wiggle room for critics of the system, and no toleration of advocates of Western-styles freedom and democracy...[and it plays] the "nationalism card" to buttress flagging legitimacy"7.

"The Chinese Communist Party
Introduction
In the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, only a handful of formally Communist states are left in the world. Moreover, most of these survivors, such as Cuba and North Korea, have the derelict appearance of societies left stranded by the tides of history. Their systems can no longer credibly claim to be on the vanguard of anything, and their political establishments appear all too likely to unravel in succession crises, a process perhaps already underway in North Korea, and hanging over any prospects of a post-Castro Communist Cuba. Their economies are in a state of slow-motion collapse. From being parts of a global movement, the surviving Communist states have become a collection of rather sad.."

Abstract
This paper examines the factors that have contributed to the election of the same political party in Russia since the fall of Communism. Russia has been in an economic depression since the fall of the Soviet Union, yet the same party is re-elected through democratic vote. The reasons for this puzzling outcome are discussed in this paper and identified as using democracy to purge the conservative communists of their rank, old elites regaining state control and loyalty of those counting the votes. Each factor is discussed in great detail along with its contribution and impact on the electoral outcome. This paper is ideal for anyone, from a Russian politics expert to a curious novice.
From the Paper
"Mikhail Gorbachev, along with the Soviet leaders was the first to introduce semi competitive elections into the USSR and then later Russia. Although elections are a focal point of a democracy, they were not initiated by Gorbachev for this use. "The goal of these elections was to purge the conservative ranks of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) from their positions of power within state structures as a way to liberate these state institutions and thereby make them available as instruments by executing Gorbachev's economic reforms" (McFaul and Petrov, 24). The existing powers of the Soviet Union at the time of the introduction of democracy were all communists, who held high political ranks. In order for Gorbachev to implement his reformation of the economy, these political figures needed to be removed from their ranks, otherwise there would be great opposition to the changes planned. When these leaders were removed, the state organizations were free from communist control and could be used in any way that Gorbachev desired."

Abstract
As the dragon awakens, the bear, it appears, hibernates. Recently, the flowering of the Red Chinese economy has turned the eyes of Western security wonks eastward. Disquieted by the possibility of a military force built on years of stunning growth rates, American policymakers have sounded increasing alarms about the regional territorial intentions of this new potential hegemony. Whether due to post-Soviet optimism, hyper-power arrogance, or simply inability to hold too many thoughts simultaneously, this paper shows that analysts have drifted away from concerns about Russia as a credible enemy. The paper argues that, despite the obvious decline in Russian military and economic power, it may remain a potential opponent to the West in coming years. In an attempt to understand this possibility, the paper frames Russia today, politically, economically, and militarily, in relation to a variety of contemporary theories on the causes of war. Employing these theories, the paper judges the factors that would seem to make Russia more or less prone to belligerence. Beyond a simple discussion of various hypotheses, the paper sketches some possible scenarios of conflict in the foreseeable future.
From the Paper
"So how does Russia fit into this equation? It is, at least nominally, in a transition from Communism to democracy. Reality though, as Churchill suggested, is opaque. Putin's state is far from liberal, but has maintained many inherent structural characteristics of a democracy. No serious party leader has articulated any political alternative to democracy, and democratic norms remain pervasive in society at large. The most commonly applied term for the Russian case is "managed democracy." What is worrying is that managed democracy is essentially a bargain. In exchange for promises of economic growth and stability, the masses surrender their rights to question the primacy of the regime."

Abstract
The writer gives a detailed step-by-step account of the reasons why Russia is struggling to get a foot-hold in a modern democratic world. The paper looks at various issues such as the great diversity of ethnic groups, religions, the vastness of the territory and economic instability.
From the Paper
"This political response to external threats impairs the state?s ability to function, which can result in the deterioration of the state itself. This happens because politics of an ethnically organized nature complicate and confuse the interaction between constitutional and ?everyday politics? (Schopflin 54). The distinction between constitutional politics and ?everyday politics? is that the former deals with issues such as morality, identity, and social integration, while the latter is primarily involved with issues of a material and economic nature (Schopflin 54)."

Abstract
This essay examines some of the events that took place in China since the middle of the 19th century and that led to the triumph of the Chinese Communist party after World War II. The essay focuses on the factors that led to the failure of the Chinese Nationalist party (Guomindang) to consolidate its support amongst the Chinese people. It also argues that the factors that led to the failure of the Guomindang government to maintain power include strong a nationalist sentiment, the importance of the peasantry and unsolved socio-economic problems.

Abstract
This paper begins by looking at how the French Communist Party enjoyed such great power and influence in the years following World War II. It then examines why this strength has waned in the past 50 years including the constitutional changes of 1958, the failure of the Communist-Socialist alliance, the decreasing relevance of Communist policies, the increase in working class affluence and the fall of Communist regimes elsewhere.
From the Paper
"The PCF enjoyed its greatest levels of popularity between 1946-1958. During this time, the Communists were helped greatly by a number of features of French politics and society. For instance, French democracy was far from solid following the revival of numerous undemocratic ideas during the Vichy regime, and indeed, Communism was not perceived as quite so radical a Left Wing force immediately following the Second World War. Therefore, it was possible for the PCF to destabilise the fragile, unstable coalition governments that existed until 1958. In addition, a Left Wing split existed in France at this time, which ensured that the Communists had no significant Left Wing opposition to contend with, and similarly, the PCF?s foreign policies tended to be very similar to those of the powerful Gaullist Party of the 1950s and 60s, which would again allow them to appear less radical a party."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines 'The Manifesto of the Communist Party' by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels from the year 1848. The writer maintains that their suggestion that history, politics, and economy have always been entwined makes sense in light of the fact that the communist system they propose is both a political and economic system. The writer discusses the document and looks at its argument for change. The writer concludes that despite the fact that the document was written a long time ago, Marx and Engels still capture the spirit of the modern imagination by asserting the power people have for change and reminding even the humblest factory worker that life could and should be different.
From the Paper
"The Manifesto of the Communist Party by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels professed revolutionary ideas in 1848. The authors expressed their views of the history of economics, politics, and society and suggested remedies for the evils they discerned. Their ideas were new and radical in their scope, and the transitioning world of the 19th and 20th centuries was a receptive audience. The wide appeal of their words during the first two centuries of the existence of the Manifesto has declined, though, because of the rise of individualism and the concrete failures of the system of communism that have so pervaded the modern world."

Abstract
This paper discusses party affiliation and how it influences how the government in the United States operates. It also discusses other important influences that exist. The paper then discusses the reasons for the difficulty that exists for a new party to gain power in government because of the two party system that currently exists.
Table of Contents:
Party Affiliation
Difficulty in Adding a New Party
From the Paper
"There are also some institutional factors, which limit the influence of party affiliation by members of Congress. The President and other party leaders may assist Congressmen in their election, but ultimately members are responsible to their constituents first. They may follow an ideological group or a bi-partisan coalition on an issue if it is what their voters want.
"In recent years there has been a growth in earmarks, the funding of specific projects often targeted to a specific Congressman's district. If distributed by the party these can increase discipline and be used as a way of rewarding loyalty. Also a popular president or former president might campaign on behalf of party loyalists, helping out at re-election time."

Abstract
This paper wonders if, given the similarity of all the candidates for U.S. President in both parties, it is time for a third party candidate who has an actual chance of winning rather than just splitting the votes so another candidate can win. The author presents arguments in favor of a major third party including that the parliamentary approach to government in other countries is superior to the two party system in the United States. The paper concludes that a viable third party is impossible not because of the high costs and media support critical in an election but because of the problem of the mindset of the voters who see a third party as only speaking for a niche group.
From the Paper
"Second, does America represent a democracy when only two parties are running, and these individuals are chosen by a select few? When anyone else who wants to run does not have a chance of being heard unless he/she has millions of dollars (or backing of well-to-do-supporters) and the media? And when anyone who desires to hold a high position has to have been around long enough to have shared political favors with a number of prominent individuals?"
