  • The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics
    Li, China Leadership Monitor No.4 The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics Cheng Li China’s ongoing political succession has been filled with paradoxes. Jockeying for power among various factions has been fervent and protracted, but the power struggle has not led to a systemic crisis as it did during the reigns of Mao and Deng. While nepotism and favoritism in elite recruitment have become prevalent, educational credentials and technical expertise are also essential. Regional representation has gained importance in the selection of Central Committee members, but leaders who come from coastal regions will likely dominate the new Politburo. Regulations such as term limits and an age requirement for retirement have been implemented at various levels of the Chinese leadership, but these rules and norms will perhaps not restrain the power of Jiang Zemin, the 76-year-old “new paramount leader.” While the military’s influence on political succession has declined during the past decade, the Central Military Commission is still very powerful. Not surprisingly, these paradoxical developments have led students of Chinese politics to reach contrasting assessments of the nature of this political succession, the competence of the new leadership, and the implications of these factors for China’s future. This diversity of views is particularly evident regarding the ubiquitous role of mishu in the Chinese leadership. The term mishu, which literally means “secretary” in Chinese, refers to a range of people who differ significantly from each other in terms of the functions they fulfill, the leadership bodies they serve, and the responsibilities given to them.

  • The PLA and the 16Th Party Congress Jiang Controls the Gun? James Mulvenon
    Hoover-CLM-5.qxd 6/5/2003 12:36 PM Page 20 The PLA and the 16th Party Congress Jiang Controls the Gun? James Mulvenon For Western observers of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the 16th Party Congress presented a curious mixture of the past, the present, and the future. Jiang Zemin’s long-rumored and ultimately successful bid to retain the chairmanship of the Central Military Commission (CMC) brought back memories of party-army relations in the late 1980s before Tiananmen. At the same time, the new crop of PLA leaders elevated to the CMC represents the present and future PLA, possessing high levels of experience, training, and education, and thus professionalism. This article explores the implications of Jiang’s gambit, analyzes the retirements of senior PLA leaders and the biographies of their replacements, and offers some pre- dictions about the choice of defense minister and the future course of Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-PLA relations. JIANG STICKS AROUND If imitation is the highest form of flattery, then Jiang Zemin has given Deng Xiaoping’s boots a real tongue-shine. Recall that at the 13th Party Congress in 1987, confident of his preeminence in the system, Deng retired from all formal positions save one, the chairmanship of the Central Military Commission. His logic at the time was clear.The PLA was still subordinate to party control, but the fresh memory of the breakdown of formal lines of authority during the events in Tiananmen Square told Deng that his continued personal control of the military was crucially important to Jiang Zemin’s successful transition to the leadership core.

  • Elihu Root an the Conservative Tradition
    REVIEWS ELIHU ROOT An THE CONSERVATIVE TIRAiTioN. By Richard All. Leopold. Boston: Little Brown and Co., 1954, Pp. x, 222. $3.00. In the winter of 1937, as a law clerk employed in a New York office, I Nas sent to serve papers on the firm of Root, Clark, Buckner and Ballantine. I noticed on arrival that an immense, almost palpable hush had fallen upon their sumptuous offices, and I was informed that its members had just received word of the death of the senior Elihu Root. Plainly this was a figure of no small eminence that had passed, and one who had left upon all his associates a deep and abiding impression. Recently, never having read the standard two-volume life of Root by Philip Jessup, and having acquired no more than the journey- man historian's information about the bare externals of Root's career, I turned with great interest to Professor Richard Leopold's brief biography in the ex- pectation of learning a good deal more about the life and personal character of this Titan of American conservatism whose passing, long after his active years were over, had still cut such a broad swath of silence among those who had known him. Certainly, from the standpoint of Root's reputation, this seemed an auspicious moment for the revaluation of his career. For Root was, politically, most notable as a solid conservative, and American conservatism is today undergoing a re- valuation far more sympathetic than it could have received at any time during the past thirty years or more.
