From the Paper
"This paper provides a critical review of developments in China after the success of the Communist Revolution of 1949, through to the 1978 reforms of Deng. These, more or less, indicated the failure of Marxist-Leninist Communism in the People's Republic of China (PRC). In 1982, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would step away from Maoism towards a Party governed by a Constitution. In closing one era of Chinese Communism and moving on to another, the CCP noted the strong contributions of Chairman Mao in establishing the People's Republic of China, but indicated the need for further revision.

From the Paper
"Regional Development and Inequity in Contemporary China STATEMENT OF ARGUMENT: Despite successes in the spillover of economic growth into other regions; the collective emphasis on staged regional economic development united with China's ambition of becoming a global economic power has resulted in the rise of a culture of superiority in the coastal region. ESSAY: Barry Naughton argues that despite the popular opinion that suggests that region disparities in China are increasing, the empirical facts indicate that overall, change in rank of GDP is too diverse to determine this one way or another. In contrast to this opinion, other scholars state that regional disparities are real and in fact planned."

From the Paper
"With the retreat of Chiang Kai-Shek's KMT nationalist forces to the island of Taiwan in 1949, many thought it was inevitable that the PRC would cross the straits and unify the island with the mainland government. Even the KMT's staunchest defender, the United States, had written off Taiwan and the nationalist movement as a desperate long shot against the larger communist forces. However, the island of Taiwan retained its de-facto independence despite constant threats from the mainland and the loss of formal diplomatic ties with most major nations. The situation in the straits of Taiwan remains sensitive as elections in Taiwan, increased trading, and the emergence of China as a regional power further complicate matters."

Abstract
This paper examines how Deng Xiaping started China's economic reforms in 1978 with the announcement of the "Open Door Policy" and how, prior to the introduction of the new policy, China had followed the radical, centrally directed economic policies of Mao that emphasized self-reliance and closed its door to trade with foreign countries. It also looks at the roles of Deng Xiaping, Jiang Zeminand and Hu Jintao's three generations of Chinese leadership in China's political economy, the achievements has China made since then and the main problems with today's Chinese political economy.

Major Problems in Today's Chinese Political Economy
Why China is Not a Democracy Yet
Evaluation of the Roles of Deng, Jiang and Hu in China's Political Economy
From the Paper
"Despite considerable economic gains made by China in the post-1978 period, it is still faced with a number of serious politico-economic problems. Corruption and other economic crimes have proliferated in China as it has moved towards a market-oriented economy. Unemployment, though not too high in terms of percentages (3% according to official figures ), translates into more than 20 million unemployed workers due to the large Chinese population. ("Economic Overview" Country Watch) In addition to the unemployed, it is estimated that 50 to 100 million surplus rural workers are adrift between the villages and the cities, barely surviving through part-time, low-paying jobs. There is a growing trend of inter-regional and urban-rural inequality with the rural areas and areas away from the booming coastal regions, falling significantly behind. Despite efforts at reforming state owned organizations and the closure of a number of loss-making industries, over half of China's large state-owned enterprises are still making losses."

Abstract
The study will conclude with the proposition that industrialization, urbanization, trade, population, and pollution, all require the government's utmost attention; but, these are all issues that are linked to a broader problem. In particular, China's attempt to find a third way between socialism and capitalism just does not seem to be working. It has created a multi-speed China, with some regions moving forward and others struggling or stagnating.

Political Analysis and Political Philosophy, 2002.
A look at whether the problems of political analysis and political philosophy are distinct.

Abstract
Political analysis and political philosophy are two human activities engaged in by men striving to know the world. The problems of political analysis and political philosophy rest on the problems concerning man?s knowledge of the world. The paper shows that such knowledge is the result of attempts to describe, analyze, explain and interpret the actions and beliefs of men as they live in the real, material world. This essay presents an argument against that school which would draw a sharp distinction between two sorts of knowledge, each type being the result of a separate and distinct activity. According to this school, political analysis is concerned solely with the identification and description of political phenomena. The paper explains that the problems of political analysis are, thus, said to be ?scientific? problems, directed towards the discovery of empirically testable scientific ?laws?. This essay shows that, despite its empirical orientation, political analysis is underpinned by a wider set of theoretical perspectives, such that analysis itself reflects elements of the observer?s political philosophy. The paper concludes that political analysis and political philosophy are intimately connected; many of the ?problems? are common to both. Each activity - analysis and philosophy - heightens the level of human knowledge.
From the Paper
"What is presented to the political analyst is a mass of apparently chaotic social phenomena; what Heinrich Rickert calls ?formless matter?. The task of the political analyst is to structure and give order to that part of reality he has chosen to explain. Already we have recognized two crucial problems for political analysis. The first arises from the necessity of selecting specific areas of reality for study. I shall discuss later the way in which a certain limited range of ?problems? present themselves for the political analyst?s particular concern. The problem-field is limited in such a way that the possibilities for different accounts of politics is itself restricted. The task of political analysis is also complicated by the fact that knowledge of the world is not immediately attainable; understanding is mediated through mental constructions and elaborations (language, concepts and constructed arguments) of real, observable situations and events. Thus, Aron says of the methodology of science ?all science is an elaboration or construction of formless matter? (2)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the different forms of political humor available and the range of media now available, from newspaper cartoons to digital clips sent by e-mail. The paper examines how political humor has become an increasingly influential force in the American political scene, with high profile politicians, such as the President, often becoming the main target of jokes. The paper portrays such humor as a useful tool in keeping citizens lighthearted in tense situations.
From the Paper
"In the United States, political humor has become a very popular entertaining form of entertainment, and is used as a way to make light of political situations and poke fun at the politicians that have been elected and are in the national spotlight. Political humor has been in newspapers and other forms of mass media since the elections of some of the first politicians. However, unlike the comedians of the French Revolution Era, political humorists today will not be beheaded for making jokes about the president."

Socialist Economic Concepts, and China
At the theoretical level, Marxist economics is relatively close to classical economics. Classical economics represented the prevailing economic theory at the time Marx formulated his original principles. Karl Marx adapted classical economic theory, and, through the ensuing years, particularly since the creation of the Soviet Union, later-day Marxist economists have further refined the theory.
Karl Marx, in his writings related to economics, contributed

From the Paper
"The 1989 Democracy Uprising in China, which was so brutally repressed in the Tiananmen Square massacres, followed patterns of civil protest that had been enacted several times before in the twentieth century. And, like previous protest movements, the Pro-Democracy Movement had its roots in imaginative literature and the discourse of intellectuals which drew on and, in turn, shaped popular feeling. But the 1980s were also different from other periods in which protest arose because the so-called Literature of the New Era was more easily disseminated (even being published in some newspapers), because the film and television media were employed, because artists of many kinds reflected the liberalizing trend of the decade in their work, and because growing popular subcultures such as rock music aided in spreading the general call for reform. In addition to the..."

Abstract
This paper explores the ramifications of party funding by business and Political Action Committees through an investigation into the Supreme Court's revocation of the FDA's right to regulate the tobacco industry. It explores the historical involvement of the FDA with the industry, through to the stances taken by the Democratic and the Republican parties after revocation. It investigates the reasons behind Big Tobacco funding the Republican party, and the Trial Lawyers' PAC contributing so heavily to the Democratic coffers in the 2000 presidential campaign.
From the Paper
"It is a sad fact that less than 50% of Americans vote. The reasons behind this non-participation are myriad, ranging from the view that traditional parties are out of touch with the needs of modern-day society, to the inconvenience of attending mid-week daytime voting stations. One common complaint is the effect of party funding by big business and by Political Action Committees, since the practice implies that money rather than votes wields political influence."
