Description

The Chinese Military System: An Organizational Study of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (Second Edition) To gain insight into China's military and its place within the country's broader bureaucratic system, it is essential to understand the organizational structure of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. This comprehensive study examines the PLA from top to bottom, challenging prevailing theories about the role of personal relationships among officers and the nature of the army as a whole. Harvey Nelsen's detailed analysis sheds light on the complexities of Chinese military politics and their implications for understanding the country's peacetime army. The second edition has been revised to reflect changes since Chairman Mao's death, as well as new information about the Chinese military and political system during his reign. This book provides a valuable perspective on China's military organization and its relationship with broader bureaucratic politics, making it an important resource for those seeking to understand the dynamics of China's armed forces.
