The Chinese Communist Revolution VI. Aftermath & Conclusions

 

Strategy of Protest and Revolution 5

Mao Zedong & The Chinese Communist Revolution, 1921-45

Part VI. Aftermath & Conclusions

Hi, and welcome to Strategy Stuff. This is the 6^th entry in ‘The Strategy of Protest and Revolution’, where we examine how historical revolutionary and protest movements achieved success. In this series, we focus on 3 key questions:

 

                - How did activists turn public discontent into a coordinated movement?

                - What did successful movements do to achieve their goals? And

                - How have successful movement strategies changed over time?

 

In this 6-part entry, we’ll explore the revolutionary history of the Chinese Communist Party or CCP from 1921 to 45, with a particular focus on the experiences of its eventual leader, Mao Zedong. Here in Part VI, we’ll briefly recount the CCP’s victory in the Chinese Civil War, before concluding with some suggestions on how the Chinese Communist Revolution remains relevant today.

The Strategy of Eurasianism

Introduction

This video will be about the strategy of Eurasianism, a set of cultural, philosophical and political concepts centered on the idea that Eurasia – defined as the former Soviet space minus the Baltics and plus Mongolia and sometimes northwest China – has an independent civilizational identity and developmental path. In particular, we will answer the following questions:

    - How does Eurasianism define power?

    - What is the global distribution of power?

    - And how can power be organized and manipulated to achieve Eurasianism’s goals?
