Description

The Chinese Communist Youth League is the largest youth political organization in the world, with over 80 million members. Former Chinese President Hu Jintao was a firm supporter of the League, and believed that it could play a bigger role in winning the hearts and minds of Chinese youth by actively engaging with their interests and demands. Accordingly, he provided the League with a new youth work mandate to increase its capacity for responsiveness under the slogan 'keep the Party assured and the youth satisfied'. This original investigation of the hitherto-unexamined organization uses a combination of interviews, surveys and ethnography to explore how the League implemented Hu's mandate at both local and national levels, exposing the contradictory nature of some of its campaigns. By doing so, it also sheds light on the reasons for Xi Jinping's turn against the League during his first term in office., The Chinese Communist Youth League: Juniority and Responsiveness in a Party Youth Organization develops the original concept of 'juniority' to capture the complex ways that generational power is institutionalized, alienating young people from official political processes, with significant implications for China's political development. The book will be of interest to researchers and students of Chinese politics, as well as to scholars of comparative youth politics and sociology.|Acknowledgments,List of tables, Chapter 1: Introduction,Scope and importance of the study,The challenge: reversing the legacy of an uneasy relationship,Enter Hu Jintao: Keep the Party Assured and the Youth Satisfied,Beyond dependency: Youth as a junior political subject,Researching the League,Organization of the book, Chapter 1 references, Chapter 2: Juniority and the generational subordination of party youth organizations, Circumventing dependency: cadre agency and responsiveness,Youth leagues and generational politics,Generational subordination and juniority, Chapter 2 references, Chapter 3: The League on Campus,Joining the League,Grassroots League Committees and Cadres,League Activities on Campus,The View from Below: The League's Evaluation by Students, Conclusion, Chapter 3 references, Chapter 4: The League in the workplace,Locating Youth and the League in the Chinese workplace,Deregulated labor and League membership, Building the League through building the Party,The League's activities: between the party committee and the management,Serving and representing young employees, Conclusion, Chapter 4 references, Chapter 5: Training Youth Cadres,Organizational aspirations and personnel realities,The Central League School: training generalist cadres,The League School at the grassroots,Improving training at the local level,Personnel exchange and recognition programs, Conclusion, Chapter 5 references, Chapter 6 - In Search of Responsiveness,Youth Work Norms,Serving youth in practice,Relations with social organizations, Conclusion, Chapter 6 references, Conclusion: From Hu to Xi,The League as a dependent and junior organization,The League under Xi: factional considerations or a new mission?,Juniority beyond the League, Conclusion references, Bibliography,Appendix, Index.|1.As the first monograph on the Communist Youth League, it fills an important gap in the literature on Chinese youth politics, mass organizations and political institutions 2.Makes a direct contribution to the authoritarian resilience debate and promotes the comparative study of party youth organizations 3. Rigorous research that combines the perspectives of cadres and ordinary young people and investigates the local manifestations of broader institutional and political dynamics affecting youth|Konstantinos Tsimonis's new book is an important contribution to an understudied subject. [...] The volume also includes a very helpful discussion of the declining fortunes of the Youth League under Xi Jinping, who not only viewed the league as a bastion of factionalism, the so-called 'league faction' that provided a base of support for the Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao administration. [...] Fortunately, we have this excellent book by Tsimonis to enlighten us on why Hu's reforms were doomed from the start.- Stanley Rosen, University of Southern California, China Information 36 (1) (2022), Konstantinos D. Tsimonis' book is an important and timely study that offers a crucial contribution to our understanding of Party-youth relations in contemporary China. [...] the book also addresses youth political organizations' experience in the former socialist countries and in doing so develops an analytical framework that captures and also goes beyond the peculiarities of the Chinese case.,- Sofia Graziani, The China Journal, Vol. 88, July 2022, This book adds valuable insights into the inner workings of the CYL in various institutions. It adds nuanced analysis on, for instance, the differences between students at elite universities and vocational colleges' perceptions of and engagement with the CY
