Description of the research topic:

Corruption of party and government officials in a politically monopolized system as China is pervasive and endemic at any level. What is the systemic basis of corruption dynamics? How do guanxi, formal positions and bargaining positions interact in these dynamics? Besides steady routine party discipline punishments to curb pervasive corruption irregular anti-corruption campaigns reflect the political economic history of the Chinese socialist system since its onset. Anti-corruption campaigns evolved from organized mass movements to institutionalized party-discipline actions transferred to or segregated from the evolving legal system. How did anti-corruption campaigns change in methods, in targeted positions and regions starting from Mao’s campaigns along the reform and transformation period? What are the structural-systemic reasons of the periodic nature of anti-corruption campaigns? How timing and political-economic developments are connected? How do they relate to the specific decentralized Chinese power structure, the centralization of power and resources?
