Carl Schmitt, Mao Zedong and the Politics of Transition [Hardcover]

This book develops a new way of reading and benefiting from Schmitt's legal and political theories. It explores Schmitt's theories from the perspective of what I refer to as the politics of transition. It also contributes to identifying the real theoretical relationship between Schmitt and Mao.Dr Qi Zheng has served as a lecturer at the School of Law, East China Normal University (Shanghai, China), since 2011.
