建国期の中国人民政治協商会議における中国共産党の指導権

抄録

This paper demonstrates the process by which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) established its leadership in the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), by analyzing the theories, measures, organization, and personnel affairs recorded in CPPCC documents.
Previous literature has shown that the CPPCC functioned as a legislative branch during the foundation period of the PRC and that the “Common Program,” which was adopted by the CPPCC, reflected arguments about the new nation’s fundamental philosophy and principles. Based on this evidence, it is reasonable to suppose that the CCP worked hard to assume its leadership through various channels in the CPPCC. By employing a new perspective and investigating new material, this paper examines this supposition, which has not been studied previously.
The analysis provided by this paper shows the following points. Firstly, the CCP’s leadership had not been established when the CPPCC was planned. Secondly, the CCP gained its leadership via personnel arrangements during the preparation process for the CPPCC. Thirdly, there remained considerable limitations regarding the leadership of the CCP in the CPPCC. This limitation of the CCP’s power in the CPPCC led to ambiguity on the part of CCP in terms of its theories and practices in the early years of the PRC.
