시진핑 체제의 공고화와 지배기제 연구

Abstract

This paper seeks to interpret the beginning of Xi Jinping's third term in office in the context of the consolidation of the Xi Jinping regime, and analyzes the characteristics of the regime's domination mechanism in the context of power structure and resources from the point of view of institutionalistic approaches and comparative studies. The purpose of this study is to examine the implications of the continuation of the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) in the development of the ruling order of the CCP, and also to evaluate the stability of the Xi Jinping regime. The results of the research show that Xi Jinping's three-term appointment broke China's supreme leader's tenure-based resignation practice. In addition, the supreme leadership is composed of his aides, and the ruling method is changed from the collective leadership system to the power concentration system of the Mao Zedong model. Xi Jinping established a strong ruling system and began a long term in office while his predecessors were out of office. The power structure of the Xi Jinping regime is characterized by the concentration of power, and the resources for managing power are value-oriented. Although the ruling stability of the Xi Jinping regime appears strong on the surface, in reality, it can only be achieved by satisfying the requirements necessary for maintaining the regime in terms of structure, function, culture, and environment. This process will be very difficult and challenging given the internal and external conditions that China is facing, such as the inequality, fragmentation crisis, and international competition for hegemony.
