Observers have been predicting the demise of China's political
system since Mao Zedong's death over thirty years ago. The Chinese
Communist state, however, seems to have become increasingly adept
at responding to challenges ranging from leadership succession and
popular unrest to administrative reorganization, legal
institutionalization, and global economic integration. What
political techniques and procedures have Chinese policymakers
employed to manage the unsettling impact of the fastest sustained
economic expansion in world history?
As the authors of these essays demonstrate, China's political
system allows for more diverse and flexible input than would be
predicted from its formal structures. Many contemporary methods of
governance have their roots in techniques of policy generation and
implementation dating to the revolution and early PRC--techniques
that emphasize continual experimentation. China's long revolution
had given rise to this guerrilla-style decisionmaking as a way of
dealing creatively with pervasive uncertainty. Thus, even in a
post-revolutionary PRC, the invisible hand of Chairman Mao--tamed,
tweaked, and transformed--plays an important role in China's
adaptive governance.
