Party-Judicial Relationship in Contemporary Chinese Politics
Outline
This research aims to explain why/how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) enhances the function of the judicial branch for sustaining its regime, and how the CCP’s policies actualize at the street level. Previous studies about authoritarian regime resilience examine the democratic institutions, such as a party system and a congress, work for sharing power among political elites, however, they rarely study the system which constrains them. This research focuses on the judicial branch as one of the democratic institutions under an authoritarian regime and analyses how a dictator obtains the tool to legally constrain political elites while they aim to sustain their regime.
