Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This year, the activities mainly focused on the data selection and analysis related to the party-state's integration with business entities at provincial level. The main purpose of the research has been to examine the networks between the provincial governments or provincial party committees and business entities. Specifically, partial data was collected on the background of the provincial leaders from 1998 until 2017 to identify their links with (i.e., previous career records as top managers of) business entities. Further analysis has been started to understand the factors that explain the selection of the former managers from those specific business entities to the leaders of a particular province.

Causes of Carryover |
The research progress has been significantly delayed and therefore some major research activities that had been originally planned for the previous year have been postponed to this coming year.
