For the first time since Mao, a Chinese leader may serve a
life-time tenure. Xi Jinping may well replicate Mao's successful
strategy to maintain power. If so, what are the institutional and
policy implications for China? Victor C. Shih investigates how
leaders of one-party autocracies seek to dominate the elite and
achieve true dictatorship, governing without fear of internal
challenge or resistance to major policy changes. Through an
in-depth look of late-Mao politics informed by thousands of
historical documents and data analysis, Coalitions of the Weak
uncovers Mao's strategy of replacing seasoned, densely networked
senior officials with either politically tainted or inexperienced
officials. The book further documents how a decentralized version
of this strategy led to two generations of weak leadership in the
Chinese Communist Party, creating the conditions for Xi's rapid
consolidation of power after 2012.
