Webinar | The Twentieth Party Congress in Review
07 Nov 2022, 15:00 – 16:30
About this Webinar
Last month, the Chinese Communist Party held its Twentieth Party Congress. Every five years, almost 2300 delegates meet to select a new leadership, to approve a new Constitution, and to endorse the Work Report of the General Secretary. If you’ve not encountered a Congress before, imagine a presidential election, a constitutional convention, and a state-of-the-union address all taking place at the same time.
This webinar brings together an international panel of scholars of Chinese politics and constitutional law to review these changes, and to explain what happened. This event will be run by UCL Laws with the cooperation of the Great Britain China Centre and the Oxford University China Centre.
