Abstract: Le rôle directeur du parti communiste, dans la société soviétique, est assuré par la liste qu'il établit des personnes qu'il estime éligibles aux postes de commande.

“…In particular, leaders of authoritarian single parties often wield monopoly personnel power over the leading regional government officials, often institutionalized as the "nomenklatura" system (Harasymiw 1969;Manion 1985). Such personnel monopoly control on the subnational level, in concert with the predominance of the national autocrats at a top collective decision-making forum within the ruling party like the Politburo (see below), enables the national autocrats to engage in territorially selective co-optation through enlarging the presence at the Politburo of officials who govern the more menacing subnational regions.…”

“…Above all, the national autocrats heading the central government and the ruling single party enjoy political supremacy and are always responsible for the most important national policy-making, as in the former Soviet Union (Kramer 1999: 11) and contemporary China (Sheng 2005: 344). Because they also monopolize the personnel authority over the regional officials, as noted above (Harasymiw 1969;Manion 1985), they ultimately determine which subnational regions are governed by the Politburo members of the ruling single political party.…”

“…At the heart of the institutions designed to achieve this goal is the CCP's personnel power over the provinces. The nomenklatura system, under which the Party controls career mobility in all public institutions, has long been recognized as a central pillar of communist socio-political order (Harasymiw 1969;Rigby 1988;Walder 1995). This study focuses on one aspect of the CCP's personnel policy: the routine rotation of top provincial leaders across administrative boundaries.…”
