Coalitions of the Weak: Elite Politics in China from Mao's Stratagem to the Rise

Description: Coalitions of the Weak by Victor C. Shih Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Through the lens of late-Mao and contemporary elite politics in China, Coalitions of the Weak inquires how leaders of one-party autocracies sought to dominate the elite and achieve true dictatorship, providing an important and previously missing key to understanding elite political development in China in the past sixty years. Publisher Description 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 Through an in-depth look of late-Mao politics informed by thousands of historical documents and data analysis, Coalitions of the Weak uncovers Maos strategy of replacing seasoned, densely networked senior officials with either politically tainted or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.
