Originally published in 1970, this volume consists of essays by
twelve leading scholars from the United States and Britain, all of
whom concentrated their studies on the problems of China. Their
papers were originally written for a conference on the Chinese
Communist Party, held at Ditchley Park, England, in July 1968.
During the discussions, a number of themes emerged as the factors
governing the evolution of the Party. These related to problems of
leadership, power and the revolutionary struggle within the Party
and their effect on Chinese society. The authors subsequently
revised their papers, highlighting these problems within the realm
of their own subject, ranging from the power elite and the Central
Committee to the village leadership and the role of the Army. The
editor, in his introduction, throws further light on the leadership
and power struggle, on Mao's role and on the effects of the Great
Cultural Revolution.
