Perhaps the major instrument of Communist Party control of contemporary China's political, economic, social, and cultural institutions is the \u003ci\u003enomenklatura\u003c\/i\u003e system. The system consists of lists of leading positions, over which party units exercise the power to make appointments and dismissals; lists of reserves or candidates for these positions; and institutions and processes for making the appropriate personnel changes.
