About the Book

The book The Role of Ideology in the PLA delves deeply into the intricate relationship between political ideology and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China, shedding light on how this dynamic has shaped its structure, operations, and objectives over time. It offers an in-depth examination of the PLA’s evolution as a unique military institution that serves not just as a defender of national sovereignty but as a key instrument of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) political authority. This book begins with an exploration of the PLA’s origins during the revolutionary era of the early 20th century, emphasizing how Marxist-Leninist principles under Mao Zedong were interwoven into the organization’s foundation. Through this historical lens, readers are introduced to the pivotal role ideology played in transforming the PLA into both a military and political force. The text details how Mao’s philosophies, such as “politics in command” and the emphasis on guerilla warfare, became hallmarks of the PLA’s identity during the Chinese Civil War and the early years of the People’s Republic of China. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the contemporary period, focusing on Xi Jinping’s leadership. Xi’s insistence on the Party’s absolute control over the military and the elevation of “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” as a cornerstone of the PLA’s doctrine is examined in detail. The book also explores how political education, loyalty-building programs, and ideological training are seamlessly integrated into the PLA’s military strategy, training, and personnel management. By combining historical analysis, case studies, and theoretical discussions, the book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the symbiotic relationship between the PLA and the CCP. It offers valuable insights into how ideology continues to shape the PLA’s strategic goals, operational readiness, and role within China’s broader political framework, making it an essential read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of politics and military power in China.
