The Historical Evolution,Paradigm Shift and Basic Experiences of Ethnic Cadre Policies Since the Founding of the People's Republic of China——An Analysis Based on 181 Policy Texts
Ethnic cadres are an important force for doing ethnic work well.As a code of conduct and guide to action for their training and development,the policy on ethnic cadres,is a fundamental guarantee for building a high-quality ethnic cadre team.An analysis was conducted from the perspective of policy paradigm and based on 181 policy texts related to ethnic cadre policies from 1949 to 2021.It was found that the historical evolution of ethnic cadre policies since the founding of the People's Republic of China has gone through the transformation of three policy paradigms,namely,political absorption,political stability,and political identification.Each displays different policy characteristics:absorption-based training and appropriate staffing,selection-based training and standardized staffing,and exercise-based training and scientific staffing.The historical evolution of ethnic cadre policies thus contains unique and highly effective basic experiences.We should not only adhere to ethnic equality,ethnic unity,and common prosperity for all ethnic groups,but also adopt flexible forms of policy practice based on the realities of ethnic minorities and ethnic regions.At present,the CPC has put forward the goal of"fostering a strong sense of communi-ty for the Chinese nation as the main line and promoting the high-quality development of the party's ethnic work in the new era".In the future,we need to continue to improve the ethnic cadre policy,promote in-ter-ethnic political integration,and build a sustainable and stable national identity.
