Description

Understanding Chinese politics has become increasingly complex. Joseph Fewsmith argues that power struggles within China's elite are more pronounced than often assumed, as each leader must consolidate control through strategic deployment of resources. Fewsmith examines four decades of elite politics from Deng to the present day, tracing how leaders have built and maintained power. He shows how the structure of Chinese politics has fostered intense intra-elite conflicts, resulting in periods of stability punctuated by violent contention. This analysis provides insight into the dynamics of China's political system, highlighting the challenges faced by each leader in securing and maintaining control.
