Hegemonization as an effective mode of legitimation places its emphasis on the interaction between the CCP and other political actors. By doing so, I attempt to highlight the following points. First, the interaction between the CCP and other political actors is not always a zero-sum game. Although hegemonization implies the process of the CCP dominating other political actors, this does not mean that these actors are completely powerless. Without these actors, the CCP will not be able to acquire legitimacy from various sectors society. Second, like the CCP, these actors are active in this prorpss. Politics is relational, and so is power. Legitimation means that the CCP solicits loyalty from other political actors through noncoercive means, and these actors somehow voluntarily accept the domination of the CCP. Both processes of domination and legitimation are struggles between the CCP and other political actors. Third, hegemonization is thus a dynamic process of mutual transformation of the CCP and other political actors. To acquire legitimacy through hegemonization does not mean that the CCP can simply impose its will on other actors; neither does it imply that these actors accept CCP domination without resistance or negotiations with the CCP. It is an interactive process between the two actors, and their continuous interactions lead to mutual transformation.
