About the Book :
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 civilian
perspectives; 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.
