Political Implications of China's Technocracy in the Reform Era

Více o knize

The book explores the rise of technocracy in contemporary Chinese politics, linking it to both historical meritocratic traditions and the current authoritarian system that favors top-down cadre promotions. It highlights how technocrats, emerging from sectors like military, public health, and information technology, influence governance through technical solutions rather than populist politics. This research monograph offers an in-depth analysis of the implications of technocratic leadership on China's industrial policies and their potential ascent within the Chinese Communist Party's hierarchy in the near future.
