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.
