In recent years there have been reports of actions purportedly
taken by People's Liberation Army (PLA) units without civilian
authorization, and of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) civilian
leaders seeking to curry favor with the military-suggesting that a
nationalistic and increasingly influential PLA is driving more
assertive Chinese policies on a range of military and sovereignty
issues. To many experienced PLA watchers, however, the PLA remains
a "party-army" that is responsive to orders from the CCP. PLA
Influence on China's National Security Policymaking seeks to assess
the "real" relationship between the PLA and its civilian masters by
moving beyond media and pundit speculation to mount an in-depth
examination and explanation of the PLA's role in national security
policymaking. After examining the structural factors that shape PLA
interactions with the Party-State, the book uses case studies to
explore the PLA's role in foreign policy crises. It then assesses
the PLA's role in China's territorial disputes and in military
interactions with civilian government and business, exploring the
military's role in China's civil-military integration development
strategy. The evidence reveals that today's PLA does appear to have
more influence on purely military issues than in the past-but much
less influence on political issues-and to be more actively engaged
in policy debates on mixed civil-military issues where military
equities are at stake.
