Ever since Bolshevik won victory in Russia in October 1919, sixteen communist countries have emerged one after another. However, at the end of the twentieth century after the dramatic change in Russia and eastern Europe, only four communist countries exist in the world－China, Vietnam, North Korea and Cuba. This dissertation analyzes the power center of the long-term ruling parties of China and North Korea.
The Chinese Communist Party and the North Korea’s Worker’s Party established its regime respectively in 1949 and 1948, taking the Bolshevik as the model. Therefore, the communist party in both countries adopted Russia’s organizational structure. Meanwhile, they also adopted Lenin’s “system led by the party” and Stalin’s “proletarian dictatorship” as their party-state system.
This dissertation focuses on the operation of power centers of the Chinese Communist Party and the North Korea’s Worker’s Party. I compare the two ruling communist parties in three aspects－the central structure of the party, the succession of the party’s leadership, and the party-military relationship.
1. The Central Structure of the Chinese Communist Party and the North Korea’s Worker’s Party:
In this respect, there are two importance findings:
1) The central structures of the parties’ power centers are different
a. The central organization of the Chinese Communist Party is the Politburo, and the Standing Committees of the core of the center.
b. Secretariat is the power center of the North Korea’s Worker’s Party
The organizational principle －Democratic centralism－of the two parties are also different
2. The succession of the party’s leadership
1) The succession of the Chinese Communist Party’s leadership has adopted the system of “collective leadership and individual division of labor.”
2) The succession of the North Korea’s Worker’s Party’s leadership has adopted “parental” dictatorship and generation blood succession.
3. The party-military relationship of the Chinese Communist Party and the North Korea’s Worker’s Party
1) The party-military relationship of the Chinese Communist Party adheres to the absolute leadership－ “The Party Commands the Gun.”
2) The party-military relationship of the North Korea’s Worker’s Party has gradually shown the tendency of “the Gun Commands the Party”
