Decentralized Authoritarianism in China: The Communist Party's Control of Local Elites in the Post-Mao Era
Landry, Pierre F. (Yale University, Connecticut)
This book explores how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) manages local officials in order to perpetuate an unusually decentralized authoritarian regime. Landry's 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.
