Bureaucracy, Politics, and Decision Making in Post-Mao China (Volume 14)

Studies on China #14

by Kenneth G. Lieberthal (Editor), David Lampton (Editor)

Using a model of "fragmented authoritarianism," this volume sharpens our view of the inner workings of the Chinese bureaucracy. The contributors' interviews with politically well-placed bureaucrats and scholars, along with documentary and field research, illuminate the bargaining and maneuvering among officials on the national, provincial, and local levels.
