《中国的政府与政治（纪念版英文版）（精）》是作者钱端升于1947年在哈佛大学讲授“中国的政府与政治”之后在其讲义的基础上形成并出版的一部学术著作，除前几章简要说明中国古代政治体制、传统政治思想之外，绝大部分内容是关于1911年-1947年之间中国政府的变迁、组成及功能与国民党政治思想、政治组织的概况，尤其是宁汉合流之后国民党政府的权力分配、政府结构及其变化、政治环境以及各政党的概况。其中还包括了对辛亥革命、国共合作、西安事变、联合抗日、国民大会等重大事实、事件的描述和分析，以及对重要历史人物的评价。 在该书中，作者对历史事件的评价相对比较中立和客观，在对诸如西安事变、联合抗日、政府组织以及政党之间合作等的态度上多比较倾向于共产党当时的主张。
