Politics and Youth in Post-Mao China

Youth engagement in political participation serves as a means to influence governmental operations and policy-making through legal avenues. The book examines how youth organizations in totalitarian regimes, particularly Fascist and Communist societies, mold young individuals into loyal supporters of the ruling party. It highlights the Chinese Youth League's role in shaping political culture and facilitating economic reforms in modern China following the Mao era, reflecting the leadership's strategy to harness youth commitment for national development.
