Chinese Politics as Fragmented Authoritarianism

This book explores how far the concept of fragmented authoritarianism remains valid as the key concept for understanding how the Chinese political process works. It contrasts fragmented authoritarianism, which places bureaucratic bargaining at the centre of policy-making, arguing that the goals and interests of the implementing agencies have to be incorporated into a policy if implementation is to be secured, with other characterisations of Chinas political process. Individual chapters consider fragmented authoritarianism at work in a range of key policy areas, including energy issues, climate change and environmental management, health care reform and civilmilitary relations. The book also explores policy-making at the national, provincial, city and local levels, debates how far the model of fragmented authoritarianism is valid in its current form or whether modifications are needed, and discusses whether the system of policy-making and implementation is overcomplicated, unwieldy and ineffective or whether it is constructive in enabling widespread consultation and scope for imagination, flexibility and variation.

Kjeld Erik Brdsgaard is Professor at the Department of International Economics and Management and Director of the China Policy programme, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark.
