Since the death of Mao, China has entered a new period in its
development. Turning away from the all-encompassing emphasis on
revolutionary struggle and ideological transformation that
characterized the last years of the Maoist era, China's leaders
under Deng Xiaoping have initiated dramatic new reform and
development policies. In original essays, the contributors, all
senior specialists on contemporary China, analyze the reasons for
the new policies, the nature and impact of the changes now
occurring, and the prospects for a continuation of these policies
in the future. Specifically, they examine the Chinese polity as a
"consultative authoritarian" system, the farreaching changes in
China's agriculture, important shifts in foreign economic
relations, the gradual modernization policy pursued by its military
leaders, the relaxation of controls on cultural life, and the
possibility that current social policies may well increase equality
rather than inequality in Chinese society. The authors conclude
that it is too early to judge the eventual, long-term outcome of
current reforms, which they believe grew out of the political
crises and chronic economic problems that afflicted China in the
late 1960s and early 1970s. Although they see some opposition and
built-in limits to reform, on balance they foresee strong support
for continued reform and believe it will be difficult for future
leaders to reverse course.
