Chinese foreign economic policy before 1978 has been considered
isolationist and centered on Maoist self-reliance, but in "The
Reluctant Dragon," Lawrence Reardon relies on primary sources,
including Chinese Communist Party histories and other
restricted-circulation materials to show that China's apparently
sudden turn outward in 1978 was actually an extension of previous
experiments hobbled by bureaucratic infighting and conflict among
rival elites.
Lawrence C. Reardon is associate professor of political science
at the University of New Hampshire.
"Far and away the most comprehensive and detailed account of
China's foreign economic policy making. . . . The range of primary
source materials discovered and used in this study is truly
incredible." -Nicholas R. Lardy, Peterson Institute for
International Economics
