Download or read book From Revolutionary Cadres to Party Technocrats in Socialist China written by Hong Yung Lee and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a wide variety of previously unavailable sources, Hong Yung Lee offers a theoretical and historical perspective on China's ruling elite, examining their politics and the bureaucratic system in which they participate. He traces the evolution of these cadres from the guerrilla fighters who first joined the communist movement and founded the new regime in 1949 to the technocratic specialists who wield power today. In the revolution, communist leaders built a peasant-based party organization whose members were largely recruited from uneducated poor peasants and hired laborers. Even after they became the founders of a new regime, their rural orientation and revolutionary experiences continued to affect the political process. Lee shows how the requirements of modernization compelled the state to replace the revolutionary cadres with bureaucratic technocrats. Selected from the postliberation generation, the new leaders are more committed to problem-solving than to socialism. Despite uncertainties in the immediate future, this elite transformation signifies an end to modern China's revolutionary era. Lee argues that it seems only a matter of time before China will have a bureaucratic-authoritarian regime led by technocrats possessing a managerial perspective and a pragmatic economic orientation.

Download or read book Power and Control of the Chinese Communist Party written by Julia Marinaccio and published by Passerino Editore. This book was released on 2016-04-04 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ebook is an introduction into China's cadre management focusing on the institutional mechanisms and organizational processes that allow the CCP to exert control and power over its state apparatus. By means of selection and appointment, the Party continues to influence career mobility of its agents. Mobility patterns reflect first and foremost the political priorities of the party-state, but also the more comprehensive development goals of the state. Moreover, control over selection and appointment assures a certain degree of coherence within the state apparatus and allows the Party to preserve the existing political structure and its monopoly over claims on power. Julia Marinaccio graduated with a BA and an MA in Chinese Studies from the Department of East Asian Studies, University of Vienna. After her graduation she pursued further studies in Taiwan and completed an additional MA in Political Science at the National Chengchi University in 2013. Upon her return to Austria she embarked on a PhD project on capacity building in the Chinese bureaucracy. She is currently holding a research and teaching position at the Department of East Asian Studies, University of Vienna. Her research focuses on cadre management and environmental governance in China, and social movements in Taiwan.
Download or read book Cadres and Corruption written by Xiaobo Lü and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of corruption and change in the Chinese Communist Party, "Cadres and Corruption" reveals the long history of the party's inability to maintain a corps of committed and disciplined cadres. Contrary to popular understanding of China's pervasive corruption as an administrative or ethical problem, the author argues that corruption is a reflection of political developments and the manner in which the regime has evolved. Based on a wide range of previously unpublished documentary material and extensive interviews conducted by the author, the book adopts a new approach to studying political corruption by focusing on organizational change within the ruling party. In so doing, it offers a fresh perspective on the causes and changing patterns of official corruption in China and on the nature of the Chinese Communist regime. By inquiring into the developmental trajectory of the party's organization and its cadres since it came to power in 1949, the author argues that corruption among Communist cadres is not a phenomenon of the post-Mao reform period, nor is it caused by purely economic incentives in the emerging marketplace. Rather, it is the result of a long process of what he calls organizational involution that began as the Communist party-state embarked on the path of Maoist "continuous revolution." In this process, the Chinese Communist Party gradually lost its ability to sustain officialdom with either the Leninist-cadre or the Weberian-bureaucratic mode of integration. Instead, the party unintentionally created a neotraditional ethos, mode of operation, and set of authority relations among its cadres that have fostered official corruption.

Download or read book Organizing China written by Harry Harding and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1981-06-01 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the establishment of the People's Republic in 1949, Chinese Communist leaders have constructed an administrative apparatus that has exercised broader and tighter control over Chinese society than any previous government in the country's history. This is a history of the development of Chinese organizational policy - a topic of constant concern and often strident debate - from 1949 to the death of Mao Tse-tung in 1976. The author argues that Chinese organizational policy has been controversial because of the complexity of administrative problems, the effects of policy changes on the distribution of power and status, and the philosophical dilemma of whether the efficiency of modern bureaucracy outweighs its social and political costs. He also shows how extreme approaches, such as demands during the Cultural Revolution that bureaucracy be destroyed altogether or proposals during the 1950s that the bureaucracy be rationalized, have been repeatedly rejected in favor of a policy more in keeping with much of Chinese tradition: to recruit officials on the basis of their political views, subject them to ideological indoctrination, and rely on mass campaigns to implement Party policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the origins of the Great Leap Forward (GLF), a programme of economic reform that must be considered one of the great tragedies of Communist China. While standard accounts interpret the GLF as chiefly the brainchild of Mao Zedong and as a radical rejection of more moderate reform proposals, Bachman proposes a provocative reinterpretation stressing the role of bureaucracy.
Download or read book The Chinese Communist Party as Organizational Emperor written by Zheng Yongnian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the largest and one of the most powerful, political organizations in the world today, which has played a crucial role in initiating most of the major reforms of the past three decades in China. China’s rapid rise has enabled the CCP to extend its influence throughout the globe, but the West remains uncertain whether the CCP will survive China’s ongoing socio-economic transformation and become a democratic country. With rapid socio-economic transformation, the CCP has itself experienced drastic changes. Zheng Yongnian argues that whilst the concept of political party in China was imported, the CCP is a Chinese cultural product: it is an entirely different breed of political party from those in the West - an organizational emperor, wielding its power in a similar way to Chinese emperors of the past. Using social and political theory, this book examines the CCP’s transformation in the reform era, and how it is now struggling to maintain the continuing domination of its imperial power. The author argues that the CCP has managed these changes as a proactive player throughout, and that the nature of the CCP implies that as long as the party is transforming itself in accordance to socio-economic changes, the structure of party dominion over the state and society will not be allowed to change.
Download or read book Autocratic Tradition and Chinese Politics written by Zhengyuan Fu and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the Chinese political tradition over the past two thousand years and argues that the enduring and most important feature of this tradition is autocracy. The author interprets the communist takeover of 1949 not as a revolution but as a continuation of the imperial tradition. The book shows how Mao Zedong revitalised this autocratic tradition along five lines: the use of ideology for political control; concentration of power in the hands of a few; state power over all aspects of life; law as a tool wielded by the ruler, who is himself above the law; and the subjection of the individual to the state. Using a statist approach, the book argues that in China political action of the state has been the single most important factor in determining socio-economic change.

Download or read book Bureaucratic Restructure In Reforming China A Redistribution Of Political Power written by Jinshan Li and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1998-12-16 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the introduction of the Dengist reform in the late 1970s, the state bureaucracy in China has experienced four major restructurings, each of which entailed the redistribution of political power. According to the purpose and scale of reorganization, the restructuring of the State Council can be divided into two stages. At the first stage, covering the period 1982 to 1997, Deng Xiaoping and his Executives, Zhao Ziyang and Li Peng, restructured part of the government administration in order to integrate market forces into the central-planning system. The integration was not smooth because of the struggles between reformers and conservatives, so the restructuring met with a backlash. After the Ninth National People's Congress in March 1998, the restructuring has entered its second stage, characterized by a radical retrenchment of government organizations and employees both at the central and local levels. In carrying this out, Zhu Rongji intends to relinquish government links with enterprises, thus pushing the “socialist market economy” further ahead.
Download or read book Decentralized Authoritarianism in China written by Pierre F. Landry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China, like many authoritarian regimes, struggles with the tension between the need to foster economic development by empowering local officials and the regime's imperative to control them politically. Landry explores how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) manages local officials in order to meet these goals and perpetuate an unusually decentralized authoritarian regime. Using unique data collected at the municipal, county, and village level, Landry examines in detail how the promotion mechanisms for local cadres have allowed the CCP to reward officials for the development of their localities without weakening political control. His research shows that the CCP's personnel management system is a key factor in explaining China's enduring authoritarianism and proves convincingly that decentralization and authoritarianism can work hand in hand.
