PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA: STRUCTURING OF ETHNIC MINORITIES

Abstract

The paper examines the political processes in the People’s Republic of China associated with the forming of ethnic minorities’ participation in legislative and executive spheres. The paper analyzes the forms of ethnic minorities’ participation at the local, regional and national levels. The author concludes the public policy of the PRC has created an effective system of ethnic minorities’ participation in local government and governance, because broad preferential terms, relative independence in various directions were given to them. Also the special law was adopted. On the one hand this system reduces social tension and improves ethnic minorities’ loyalty to the authority, on the other hands it solves some national problems and provides the state integrity of China.
