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.
