  • Theoretical and Machine Learning Predictions of Politburo Promotions for the 19Th Party Congress of the Chinese Communist Party
    Predicting Authoritarian Selections: Theoretical and Machine Learning Predictions of Politburo Promotions for the 19th Party Congress of the Chinese Communist Party Victor Shih School of Global Policy and Strategy, UC San Diego Jonghyuk Lee Department of Political Science, UC San Diego The starting argument for this paper is that elite selection and popular elections are both selection of leaders by a selectorate. Although the selectorates are small and their preference is largely hidden from public view, the Leninist institutions and established norms and rules drastically narrow the pool of potential candidates for high level offices, which can be narrowed further by observing elite social networks. Given the increasing availability of demographic, career, performance, and network data on senior Chinese officials, theoretically motivated and machine learning approaches can be used to make predictions about elite selection in China. Focusing on 19th Party Congress promotions into the Politburo, we make three sets of predictions based on theoretically motivated model specifications. We further use a variety of machine learning techniques to make multiple sets of predictions. Preliminary outcomes suggest that both the theoretically motivated models and machine learning approaches have their own pitfalls. For the theoretically motivated models, heavy reliance on informal ties variables will introduce multiple incorrect predictions if informal ties are mis‐coded for otherwise competitive candidates. Meanwhile, the accuracy of machine learning predictions may suffer from fundamental shifts in the relationship between some input variables and outcomes in between congresses. PRELIMINARY DRAFT, PLEASE DO NOT CITE OR CIRCULATE WITHOUT PERMISSION Corresponding author: Victor Shih ([email protected]) March 8, 2017 1 The selection of authoritarian leaders is high stakes affairs.

  • China's Midterm Jockeying: Gearing up for 2012 (Part 1: Provincial Chiefs)
    China’s Midterm Jockeying: Gearing Up for 2012 (Part 1: Provincial Chiefs) Cheng Li China is set to experience a major leadership turnover at the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in 2012. Current top leaders, including President Hu Jintao, Premier Wen Jiabao, and Chairman of the National People’s Congress Wu Bangguo, are all expected to retire. The Politburo and its Standing Committee will be repopulated with a large number of new faces. Who are the most promising candidates for these supreme leadership bodies? What are the main characteristics and principal criteria for the advancement of these newcomers? Can one intelligently forecast the possible leadership lineup and factional distribution of power? To what extent will this new generation of leaders change the way Chinese politics operates? This essay aims to shed light on these questions and others by studying the 62 provincial chiefs—Party secretaries and governors—of China’s 31 province-level administrative entities. There is little doubt that today’s provincial chiefs will be among tomorrow’s national decision-makers. One can reasonably expect that a subset of these leaders will rule the world’s most populous country for most of this decade and beyond.* In China, as in the United States, 2012 will be a momentous year for politicians. Since 1977, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has regularly held a National Party Congress every five years. The Party congress has always been a grand occasion for change in China’s top leadership. The 18th National Congress of the CCP, which is scheduled to convene in the fall of 2012, will be no exception.
