A monarch is usually born, a member of parliament or a president is usually elected, but a regional leader in China is usually orchestrated to replace his or her predecessor through an opaque process and for reasons not normally made public. The professional trajectories of Chinese regional leaders are mysterious in many ways. Their promotions and demotions can be "predictable" in terms of their age, gender, nationality, education, factions, and previous engagements in the political system. Yet, speaking of their capability, performance, opportunities and arrangements, their future can also be "unexpected". Such arrangements are always originated from the Organization (zuzhi) which represents the Chinese Communist Party. What are the factors the organization considers in order to make its final decisions on nominating and appointing a regional leader?Today’s regional leaders of China will very likely become the central leaders of China in the future. By making an empirical analysis of Chinese regional leaders’ political mobility, Qiao establishes a descriptive political mobility model that reveals leadership trajectories in Chinese politics.

La gestion du territoire est complexe, pluridisciplinaire… et conflictuelle. Chaque acteur public en a sa propre représentation qui, combinée à sa conception de l’intérêt général, génère des concurrences institutionnelles, des divergences sur le fond même des politiques à conduire, des antagonismes. Cet ouvrage trouve son origine dans un séminaire entre géographes, politistes, juristes, économistes et décideurs territoriaux qui ont cherché à mettre en lumière les interactions des différents niveaux de l’action publique. Les sujets abordés sont divers : le concept de cohésion territoriale au sein de l’Union européenne et son évolution, les rapports entre Washington et les États fédérés, la décentralisation italienne, l’importance des régions métropolitaines aux États-Unis, le Grand Paris, la réforme du fédéralisme allemand, la Catalogne et son expérience de réhabilitation urbaine. À partir de ces exemples, les auteurs démontrent que la gouvernance des territoires est une question éminemment géopolitique. Les affrontements qui en résultent compromettent souvent la réussite des politiques publiques et la compétitivité des territoires. Parfois, au contraire, ils font surgir innovation et dynamisme. Under the editorship of Giuseppe Bettoni Territorial management is a complicated, multidisciplinary and conflict-ridden business. Public players all have their own vision of what it is. This, combined with their perception of what constitutes the public interest, generates institutional competition, divergences on the very essence of the policies to be conducted, and antagonism. This book was inspired by a conference of geographers, political scientists, legal experts, economists, and local and regional decision-makers who decided to try and make sense of the interactions between the different levels of public action. It addresses a range of subjects: the concept of territorial cohesion in the European Union and how it has developed, relations between Washington and the…

Why do some African local governments perform well, while others fail to deliver even the most basic services to their constituents? Gina Lambright finds answers to this question in her investigation of the factors that contribute to good and those that result in ineffective institutional performance at the district level in Uganda. Examining the conditions under which local populations are able to shape the performance of their local governments, she adeptly combines quantitative analysis across 56 Ugandan district governments with in-depth case studies of Lira, Mpigi, and Bushenyi.
