This book explores how far the concept of fragmented
authoritarianism remains valid as the key concept for understanding
how the Chinese political process works. It contrasts fragmented
authoritarianism, which places bureaucratic bargaining at the
centre of policy-making, arguing that the goals and interests of
the implementing agencies have to be incorporated into a policy if
implementation is to be secured, with other characterisations of
China's political process. Individual chapters consider fragmented
authoritarianism at work in a range of key policy areas, including
energy issues, climate change and environmental management,
financial reform, and civil-military relations. The book also
explores policy making at the national, provincial, city and local
levels; debates how far the model of fragmented authoritarianism is
valid in its current form or whether modifications are needed; and
discusses whether the system of policy making and implementation is
overcomplicated, unwieldy and ineffective or whether it is
constructive in enabling widespread consultation and scope for
imagination, flexibility and variation.
