Information, monitoring and control

.

Chapter 4 in Federalism in China and Russia, 2019, pp 70-100 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter reviews the tools and mechanisms Chinese and Russian governments use to extract, control and organize information about the performance of sub-national bureaucrats. It distinguishes among three key elements of information collection strategies: the establishment of specialized agencies (security agencies or control hierarchies); the encouragement of feedback from the public (both online and in form of complaints and petitions); and the use of new technologies. It shows that while China managed to gain a number of advantages vis-Ã -vis Russia in the past, currently the transformation of the Chinese state makes it more and more similar to Russia.
