Can meaningful representation emerge in an authoritarian setting?
If so, how, when, and why? Making Autocracy Work identifies the
trade-offs associated with representation in authoritarian
environments and then tests the theory through a detailed inquiry
into the dynamics of China's National People's Congress (NPC, the
country's highest formal government institution). Rory Truex argues
that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is engineering a system of
'representation within bounds' in the NPC, encouraging deputies to
reflect the needs of their constituents, but only for non-sensitive
issues. This allows the regime to address citizen grievances while
avoiding incendiary political activism. Data on NPC deputy
backgrounds and behaviors is used to explore the nature of
representation and incentives in this constrained system. The book
challenges existing conceptions of representation,
authoritarianism, and the future of the Chinese state. Consultative
institutions like the NPC are key to making autocracy work.
