Clientelistic state corporatism: the united front model of “pairing-up” in the Xi Jinping era / Liao, Xingmiu; Tsai, Wen-Hsuan   Journal Article
Tsai, Wen-Hsuan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract United front work has played an important role in the history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Since 2012, Xi Jinping has strengthened the united front system’s ecacy and further proposed formation of a “great united front.” He holds that united front work’s essence is “making friends,” in which regard the CCP under Xi has introduced a new practice called “pairing-up.” It stipulates that local governments at all levels must facilitate establishment of “friendly” relations between members of Party committees and specific persons in charge of so-called democratic parties to further implementation of united front work. This new form of united front embodies “clientelistic state corporatism.” We use the case of L City to analyze the united front model of pairing-up, its eects and limitations, and the CCP’s social control strategy

Dilemma of stability preservation in China / Feng, Chongyi   Journal Article
Feng, Chongyi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Stability preservation (??, weiwen) has been a core policy of the Chinese communist government for the last two decades. China is the only major country in the contemporary world to have set up stability preservation offices at all levels of government alongside the normal administrative institutions for social control. These offices are mainly staffed by the existing personnel of the security apparatus, who in turn exercise control over people and the propaganda apparatus, who exercise control over information. The consequences of the stability preservation policy and the "system of stability preservation" (????, weiwen tizhi) are widely reported in the media, but the academic community is still in the initial stages of understanding the process of this unique phenomenon in China (Sandby-Thomas 2011; Shambaugh 2000; Social Development Research Group 2010; Sun 2009; Yu 2009). Why has the Chinese government pursued this policy? Is stability preservation in China a conventional issue of "law and order"? Are the policy and institutions of stability preservation effective in providing social and political stability? What are the implications of these special arrangements for China and the Chinese communist regime in the long run?

Implementation measures of China's Xinjiang politics   Journal Article
Chou, Bill K. P Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This issue is a collection of twelve documents on the policies in Xinjiang. These policies can be grouped into four categories: economic inducements, ideological indoctrination, cultural assimilation, and social control. Economic inducements are provided on the assumption that economic growth will benefit the ethnic minorities. Satisfied materially, their tendency to resist is weakened. Ideological indoctrination has the power to cultivate political identification with the regime of China through an official narrative of historical view and the contribution of the regime to the economic and social development of Xinjiang. Cultural assimilation is to integrate Uighurs culturally with the Han-dominated Chinese culture through education. Social control is to establish a coercive system for preventing subversion and punishing the secessionists in order to weaken the will to resist.

Institution of petition and authoritarian social control in contemporary China / Paik, Wooyeal   Journal Article
Paik, Wooyeal Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This paper discusses the Xinfang institution of petitions (letters and visits) and explores the ways in which the Chinese Communist Party regime utilizes social control mechanisms to identify, oversee, and suppress socially discontented people with grievances in the post-Mao market reform era. This public-facing institution for managing participation and rightful resistance, which aims to oversee local officials and redress mass grievances, also plays an unexpected role in social control. Unlike the social control exercised by police patrols in police states, Xinfang functions first as a “fire alarm” in this authoritarian regime; then, if necessary, as a selective “police patrol,” collecting information on discontented people with grievances, monitoring them, quelling and even preempting their protests, and referring dangerous petitioners to higher levels of government to prevent disruption in politically critical regions. This argument is supported with a detailed institutional analysis of the nationwide structure of Xinfang and several case studies of Xinfang’s multi-layered response to petitioners to Beijing, during the Falun Gong incidents in 1999 and 2000 in particular. Several complementary case studies on the behavior of local petition mechanisms and statistical evidence are also analyzed.

Kim Jong Un regime`s social control policy: continuities and changes / Don, Jung Sang   Journal Article
Don, Jung Sang Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Even during the Kim Jong Un era, the rationing system of North Korea has not yet been recovered. In addition, the thought control system has been weaker than during the Kim Jong Il era. The Kim Jong Un regime stays in power mainly by strengthening political and social control by law enforcement agencies (including police and intelligence agencies). However, there is a lacuna in the control of governmental authority in that giving bribes to public officials enables people to avoid the control. In 2016, social control was strengthened in a situation in which DPRK`s economy cannot be improved due to the sanctions imposed by the UN on it. This will exacerbate the instability of the Kim Jong Un regime. Although the unstable factors during the Kim Jong Un era have increased, it is hard to say that those factors will lead to contingency in North Korea under current conditions. Firstly, a change of people`s consciousness in North Korea is insufficient to bring about a change in its system. Secondly, it is difficult to mobilize and organize the people`s discontent over the Kim Jong-un regime due to the strict control by law enforcement agencies. Thus, a change in the social control system is necessary for fundamental system change in North Korea. To do this, not only further economic sanctions on North Korea and inflow of external information, but also, a lot of pressure especially focused on the North Korean Human Rights Act are required.

Law, Order and Social Control in Xi’s China / Hillman, Ben   Journal Article
Hillman, Ben Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In his first term (2012–2017), Xi Jinping’s signature domestic policy was an anti-corruption campaign that targeted political enemies and venality in public office. The anti-corruption work has continued in his second term while being superseded in domestic political importance by a campaign to “Sweep Away Black and Eliminate Evil (2018–2020).” On the surface, the campaign to Sweep Away Black and Eliminate Evil is an anti-crime campaign that focuses on the “black and evil forces” of organized crime and their official protectors, but its scope extends well beyond the ganglands to target a wide range of social and political threats to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Drawing on interviews with government officials, police and citizens as well as analysis of policy documents, this paper argues that the campaign is a populist initiative designed to bolster CCP legitimacy and serve as a mechanism of social control. Like the Chongqing prototype that inspired it, however, the campaign harbors a dark side that could undermine the contemporary Chinese social contract in which people are willing to sacrifice personal freedoms in exchange for security and material benefits.

Militarized masculinity and the paradox of restraint: mechanisms of social control under modern authoritarianism / Tapscott, Rebecca   Journal Article
Tapscott, Rebecca Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The twenty-first century is marked by the rise of new forms of authoritarianism, many of which are characterized by the ‘paradox of restraint’, in which reforms compliant with the rule of law are used to unshackle the ruler's arbitrary power. Despite a proliferation of scholarly studies on this topic, we still have limited understanding of how national-level authoritarian power reaches ordinary citizens in these contexts. This article identifies the performance of militarized masculinities as an understudied mechanism that does so. It offers two main contributions: first, it highlights how performances of militarized masculinities enact the paradox of restraint through gendered idioms, thereby magnifying the ambiguities of modern authoritarianism and diffusing them at a local level. Second, it recasts the conceptual utility of militarized masculinities, showing that the concept's inherent tensions between ordered discipline and unaccountable violence produce and project authoritarian power, giving militarized masculinities special potency as a mode of social discipline in these contexts. The article draws on feminist International Relations, employing grounded ethnographic research to illustrate how national-level power circulates locally. To do so, it first illustrates the relationship between the paradox of restraint and militarized masculinities using the cases of Putin's Russia and Duterte's Philippines. It then turns to an in-depth case study of a local dispute between soldiers and civilians in Museveni's Uganda to trace how gendered local encounters facilitate the transmission of national-level authoritarian power into the lives of ordinary people.

Province-leading-county as a scaling-up strategy in China: the case of Jiangsu / Luo, Xiaolong; Cheng, Yeqing; Yin, Jie; Wang, Ying   Journal Article
Luo, Xiaolong Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Scalar relations have been restructured in the contemporary capitalism. in post-reform China. many scalars are transformed and constructed with the transition from state socialism to market economy. This article examines the process of rescaling state power from the perspective of politics of scale. using a case of province-jading-city reform in Jiangsu province. By examining the role of government at various levels in the province-leading-city reform. it is argued that the province-leading-city reform is a rescaling of state power. involving up-scaling and down-scaling of powers. Due to power reshuffling in the rescaling process. there are intense power struggles among scalars in both vertical and horizontal dimensions. With the deepening process of globalization. marketization. and decentralization. China's cities and regions have undergone dramatic economic and political restructuring since the late l970s. There emerges consider- able acidotic and policy interests in China's changing urban and regional governance after the launch of economic reforms and open-door policy. especially after 2000.' On the urban scale. China's changing governance has been the focus of previous studies? By cautiously borrowing Western urban theories. such as urban regime. growth coalition. and entrepreneurial city. scholars have argued that transitional China shares stone similarities with Western societies, but there are still differences in urban governance due to a strong government or tight social control."
