概要:
In this special seminar, Prof Guoguang WU will introduce his new book China’s Party Congress:Power, Legitimacy, and Institutional Manipulation (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2015) . Nominally the highest decision-making body in the Chinese Communist Party, the Party Congress is responsible for determining party policy and the selection of China’s leaders. Guoguang Wu provides the first analysis of how the Party Congress operates to elect Party leadership and decide Party policy, and explores why such a formal performance of congress meetings, delegate discussions, and non-democratic elections is significant for authoritarian politics more broadly. Taking institutional inconsistency as the central research question, this study presents a new theory of ‘mutual contextualization’ to reveal how informal politics and formal institutions interact with each other. Wu argues that despite the prevalence of informal politics behind the scenes, authoritarian politics seeks legitimization through a combination of political manipulation and the ritual mobilization of formal institutions. This ambitious book is essential reading for all those interested in understanding contemporary China, and an innovative theoretical contribution to the study of comparative politics.

著名中国问题专家,加拿大维多利亚大学政治学者吴国光教授的新著China’s Party Congress:Power, Legitimacy, and Institutional Manipulation (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2015)以研究中共党的全国代表大会为实证基础,提出了理解权威主义政治合法性建构的独特理论。在实证层面,此书详细剖析了中共党的全国代表大会的运作,包括如何开会、如何选举、如何讨论党的路线和章程等,具有丰富、翔实的资料和深入、严谨的分析。在理论层面,此书聚焦“制度的不一致”(institutional inconsistency),强调“非正式政治”(informal politics)和“正式制度”(formal institutions)之间的交叉作用,提出了“mutual contextualization”的新方法论,创新了关于政治合法性(legitimacy)及其建构的理论,揭示了权威主义如何通过“制度操纵”(institutional manipulation)达成在政治精英之中的合法性幻象(hypocrisy)。
