Formation des assosciations étudiantes "Organiser le passation et préparer la rentrée universitaire"

Jérôme Doyon, Science Po Paris

Our project proposes to systematically exploit, through computational methods, the volumes produced by the Chinese party-state about its own organizational structure, and, more specifically, the Materials on the Organizational History of the Chinese Communist Party (组织史资料, Organizational Histories). These underused sources not only help us compensate for the increasing difficulty of access to the field and data in the study of Chinese politics, they also provide the richest available account of the history of the party-state structure and its human resources. Our presentation is structured in two parts. Jérôme Doyon and Aaron Glasserman will first introduce the materials used and present how they are leveraging this data to advance our understanding of ethnic politics in China, and in particular the recruiting of ethnic minority officials; a topic made particularly relevant but also sensitive in today’s Chinese politics, given the Party-state’s highly repressive approach to the management of ethnic minorities. Pierre Landry and Zhang Zheng will then introduce the LLM workflow they are developing to scale up the analysis of the rich historical materials at hand. They will also present preliminary findings on the composition, mobility, and networking patterns of political elites from the pre-cultural revolution era.
