Who are the top political leaders in China? What are the major
criteria in elite recruitment? How is job promotion in high
politics determined? By studying over 1500 top political Chinese
leaders, this book seeks to answer these questions and, as a
result, defines how Chinese leadership is stratified. Unlike
existing research on Chinese leaders, "Elite Dualism and Leadership
Selection in China" draws on extensive statistical information and
data analysis. It evidences how political development in the reform
era has led to the division of labour between the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) and the government in governance, leading to two
distinctive career paths in the two political systems respectively.
Key issues examined include: the different criteria the CCP and the
government demand; the requirements for promotion; the effect of
university education on the rate of mobility; the different
affiliations of the two groups; and the role of co-optation in
leadership selection. Many of the elites discussed are still
leading figures in China, making this book an extensive
biographical data set in elite studies. This allows for a
meaningful analysis of elite behaviour in China. This book
