Description

This scholarly book examines the enduring relevance of fragmented authoritarianism as a framework for understanding how China's political system operates. The work centres on bureaucratic bargaining as the driving force behind policy-making, arguing that implementing agencies must have their goals and interests integrated into policies for successful execution. The analysis moves beyond fragmented authoritarianism to assess alternative interpretations of China's political structure. Chapters explore this concept in practice across critical policy domains including energy and environmental issues, providing detailed examination of how competing interests shape policy outcomes in modern China.

Key Features

The book analyses fragmented authoritarianism as a central framework for understanding Chinese political decision-making and implementation processes.

Individual chapters examine how bureaucratic bargaining operates in key policy areas such as energy, earthquakes and environmental management.

The work contrasts fragmented authoritarianism with other contemporary characterisations of China's political system and governance structures.

Published by Routledge as part of the China Policy Series, offering academic analysis of China's complex administrative and political landscape.
