ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the comparison of three dominant parties: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Indian National Congress (INC) and United Russia among Eurasia's regional powers. There is no doubt that the rise of regional powers in Eurasia: China, India and Russia are having a significant impact on the world order. The chapter explores the dominant party that plays an important role in establishing political order in regional powers, dominant parties are not identical. It describes two different types of dominant party for the comparison: the regime-building and the regime-adapting type. The CCP is a regime-building one and the INC a regime-adapting one. This chapter explains that a dominant party is a particularly useful mechanism for regional powers with a huge territory, various ethnic, regional, linguistic and regional groups, a changing social structure, and a growing economy. The CCP can be considered to be a regime-building dominant party.
