简 介：
Truex's lecture will describe his research methods and findings about the National People's Congress. Political science has a rich set of tools and concepts to study representation in Western political systems, but we have yet to attempt to measure and explain the nature of parliamentary representation in China. Using new data on NPC deputies' backgrounds and behaviors, Truex will explore whether people's congress deputies indeed represent the people, whether their proposals influence policy, and how they are rewarded for their activities. He will also present evidence from a survey experiment that probes how the public views the NPC, and the effects of new public participation reforms on social stability. The lecture will close with a discussion of possible avenues to further improve this important institution.
Rory Truex is a Ph.D. Candidate in political science at Yale University, and he will be joining the faculty at Princeton University in July 2014 as Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Policy. His research uses quantitative analysis to assess the nature of representation and accountability in China's National People's Congress (NPC) system. His work has been published in the American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, and other academic journals.
