Gramsci advocated a \"war of position,\" the building of political alliances to isolate existing state powers and win consent for revolutionary rule and transform society. Economic reform is now creating new socio-economic groups and the CCP is adjusting the united front and the MPGs to co-opt their representatives and deliberately forestall the evolution of an autonomous civil society and middle class which could challenge CCP rule. This has resulted in a new and expanding role for the united front, the MPGs and organisations representing the new interest groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerry Groot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415934303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415934305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.38h x 6.32w x 0.98d","brand":"Gerry Groot","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064974684415,"sku":"9780415934305","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb4d1f65-111c-46bc-b9b0-890b49df0c78.jpg?v=1768672296","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/managing-transitions-gerry-groot-9780415934305","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
