SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Between Structural Stability and Personnel Fluidity: The Chinese Party-State in Light of Organizational Mobility
DESCRIPTION:*This event is in-person only*\n\nCo-authored by Yuze Sui\, Department of Sociology\, Stanford University\n   \n   The party-state is the foundation of the Soviet model of authoritarianism\, with the party apparatus dominating state organizations. Focusing on personnel management practices\, we examine empirical patterns of personnel flow across the party and government sectors in a large Chinese bureaucracy. Our findings show that noticeable variations across administrative levels and functional areas. We account for these observed patterns in light of the interplay between the logic of political control and incentive provision\, mediated by other organizational mechanisms.\n   \n   Xueguang Zhou is a professor of sociology\, the Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in Economic Development\, a senior fellow at Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies\, and the faculty director of the Center for East Asian Studies\, Stanford University. His book *The Logic of Governance in China: An Organizational Approach* (Cambridge University Press\, 2022) summarizes his decade-long research on the institutional logic and practice of governance in contemporary China. Professor Zhou’s current research examines patterns of personnel flow in the Chinese bureaucracy and historical origins of the bureaucratic state in China.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
