SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Christopher Carothers - When Autocrats Clean House: Xi Jinping’s Anti-Corruption Campaign and Its Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christopher Carothers\, Post-doctoral Fellow\, Center for the Study of Contemporary China\, University of PennsylvaniaModerator: Nara Dillon\, Senior Lecturer on Government\, Harvard University \nCorruption is rampant in many authoritarian regimes\, leading to the widespread perception that autocrats have little incentive or ability to curb government wrongdoing. Yet meaningful anti-corruption efforts by nondemocratic governments are more common and more often successful than is widely assumed. In this talk\, Carothers draws on extensive documentary research to argue that Xi Jinping’s sweeping anti-corruption campaign in China\, despite its limitations\, has been effective at curbing bribery\, embezzlement\, and other illicit practices since 2012. Moreover\, although corruption control is often thought to rely on democratic or quasi-democratic institutions constraining power\, Xi’s campaign has succeeded through a top-down\, authoritarian approach. The outcomes of this signature Xi policy\, Carothers explains\, hold broader implications for our thinking about China’s future direction. This talk is based on Carothers’ book Corruption Control in Authoritarian Regimes: Lessons From East Asia\, which is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press in 2022. \nChristopher Carothers is a political scientist conducting research on authoritarian politics with a regional focus on China and East Asia. He is the author of Corruption Control in Authoritarian Regimes: Lessons from East Asia\, which is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press in 2022. His research has also been published in Perspectives on Politics\, the Journal of Democracy\, the Journal of East Asian Studies\, the Journal of Contemporary China\, Politics and Society\, Foreign Affairs\, Foreign Policy\, and other leading publications. Dr. Carothers received his PhD in Government from Harvard University in 2019 and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for the Study of Contemporary China. \nPresented via Zoom Webinar \nAlso streaming on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTranscript: Download Transcript
