From Decentralization to Consolidation: CCP’s Reshaping of China’s Legislative System in the New Era
Open Access DepositedThis thesis examines the pivotal transformations within China’s legislative system under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during the “New Era” of Xi Jinping’s leadership. Through a detailed exploration of the evolving roles and interrelations between the National People’s Congress (NPC), the State Council, and the CCP, the thesis addresses how these reforms have fortified the CCP’s authoritarian regime, particularly from an institutional development perspective. Through a comprehensive examination of data from China’s legislative operations, the research identified the CCP’s efforts to re-centralize legislative authority in the New Era following the establishment of a decentralized legislative system in the post-1978 reform era. By analyzing legislative changes and their implications on the Party’s governance, the thesis illuminates the complex dynamics of the CCP’s power consolidation within China’s legislative process. This exploration is crucial for understanding the broader implications of legislative reforms on the CCP’s capacity to maintain its authority and enhance its legitimacy in governance. Through this analysis, the thesis contributes to a more nuanced comprehension of China’s legislative system’s role in reinforcing authoritarian governance.
