This work provides an in-depth and up-to-date examination of
civil-military relations in China. It reflects the significant
changes taking place in Chinese society and their impact on the
civil-military dynamic, with particular attention to how the
military will fit in with the new class of entrepreneurs. Rather
than focusing exclusively on elite Party-Army relations, the book
examines civil-military relations from various vantage points: at
"the center" and in the provinces; between civilian leaders and
military leaders; from a strictly military perspective and from a
civilian perspective; and from the angle of specific issue areas.
Chapters explore issues, such as the impact of AIDS, the defense
budget, the emerging dynamic between the military and China's new
leadership, resettling demobilized troops back into civilian life,
and the role of the militia, reserve units, and other civilian
groups. The contributors are highly respected specialists in China
studies, including political scientists, historians, PLA
specialists, and sociologists. They present a vibrant portrait of
the new civil-military dynamic in the PRC within the complex social
changes that China is exploring today.

This is the first systematic study of modern China's military
campaigns and the actual fighting conducted by the People's
Liberation Army since the founding of the People's Republic. It
provides a general overview of the evolution of PLA military
doctrine, and then focuses on major combat episodes from the civil
war with the Nationalists to the last significant combat in Vietnam
in 1979, in addition to navy and air operations through 1999. In
contrast to the many works on the specifics and hardware of China's
military modernization, this book discusses such topics as military
planning, command, and control; fighting and politics; combat
tactics and performance; technological catch-up and doctrinal
flexibility; the role of Mao Zedong; scale and typologies of
fighting; and deterrence. The contributors include scholars from
Mainland China, Taiwan, and the United States, who draw from a
wealth of fresh archival sources.
Between Fall 2002 and Spring 2003, most of the national leadership
of China's party, state, and military organs will be replaced by a
new generation of officials. The accession to power of this "Fourth
Generation" leadership, and the "Fifth Generation" officials who
will rise to positions of influence on their coattails, will have
profound implications for China, for nations in the region, and
potentially for the national interests of the United States. This
timely work introduces the new leaders of China and describes the
political backdrop for their succession. A distinguished
international group of scholars look at the process of leadership
transition; the prospects and challenges facing the new leaders;
questions of legitimacy and influence; flow of information on the
transition within China; and security policies in the provinces and
the Asia-Pacific region. They provide important insights on the
leadership at "the center," in the provinces, and in the military.
