In 1949 a powerful political-military movement, led by the Chinese
Communist party, gained control of war-ravaged China, inheriting a
disorganized administration and a society eroded by decades of
revolution. Within a short time China was so radically transformed
politically, economically, and socially that it appeared to have
cut all links with the past. The instruments of that transformation
were ideology and organization. Today, seventeen years later,
the ideology and the organizational network, despite changes,
remain as powerful as they were in 1949. They still hold that vast
country together politically and determine its economic and social
development. This book, after a discussion of ideology in its
first part, attempts to answer the question how Chinese Communist
organization functions and why it is so successful. The second part
analyzes the organization of Party and government, emphasizing
methods of command and administration. The third part looks at
industrial organization: the problems of management and control,
especially the continuing struggle between the professionals and
the politicians. The fourth part investigates the Chinese Communist
methods of organizing their cities and villages, tracing the
history of village organization from traditional times through the
Yenan period, the land reform of the late 1940's, and the
collectivization of the mid-1950's to communization in
1958. Although organization has been constantly changing in
China, basic patterns ar apparent. The book analyzes the most
characteristic pattern in all aspects of organization, the conflict
between two incompatible elements or, in the Chinese Communist
terms, "contradictions." The basic contradiction is that between
professional ("expert") and political ("red") elements. This
contradiction dominates the two distinctive periods in the short
history of Communist China, the First Five-Year Plan (1953 - 1957)
and the so-called Great Leap Forward (1958 - 1960). The book
describes how the Chinese Communists attempted during the former
period to emulate the Soviet organizational experience, with stress
on techniques and technology; and during the latter period to use
their own organizational methods to achieve economic progress. The
presentation of the contrast between these two models of
organization sheds light on the significant differences between the
Soviet Union and Communist China. This title is part of UC
