"Xi Jinping Thought" in the Context of a Global Problem "Bad Governance"

Abstract

In the Russian and foreign research environment, the search for empirical explanations for the phenomenon of «bad governance» continues in a theoretical and comparative context. At the same time, the fifth generation of leaders of the Communist Party of China and the People's Republic of China, led by Xi Jinping, emphasises the importance of developing and strengthening the theory and practice of governance, which can be represented as a hierarchy of actions taken to establish better governance practices at the party, state and international levels. Within the framework of this paper, the author makes an attempt to consider the «Xi Jinping Thought» as an example of «good governance» through the prism of the phenomenon of «bad governance» in the context of the current state of the system of international relations. After analysing the content of the principles and concepts of «Xi Jinping Thought», author comes to the conclusion that it is possible to talk about the formation of approaches to countering «bad governance» both from the neoliberal point of view and from the point of view of Sinicized Marxism, despite the fact that the modern ideological system of the CCP does not ignore the problem of «bad governance», but theorises each of the elements of this phenomenon separately.
