Coalitions of the Weak, Paperback - Victor C. Shih

Detalii:

For the first time since Mao, a Chinese leader may serve a life-time tenure. Xi Jinping may well replicate Maos successful strategy to maintain power. If so, what are the institutional and policy implications for China? Victor C. Shih investigates how leaders of one-party autocracies seek to dominate the elite and achieve true dictatorship, governing without fear of internal challenge or resistance to major policy changes. Through an in-depth look of late-Mao politics informed by thousands of historical documents and data analysis, Coalitions of the Weak uncovers Maos strategy of replacing seasoned, densely networked senior officials with either politically tainted or inexperienced officials. The book further documents how a decentralized version of this strategy led to two generations of weak leadership in the Chinese Communist Party, creating the conditions for Xis rapid consolidation of power after 2012.Book specifications:Collection: Cambridge Studies in Comparative PoliticsDimensions: 229 x 152Author: Victor C.
