Civil-Military Relations in Today's China Swimming in a New Sea

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 in the People's Liberation Army, and their impact on the civil-military dynamic. Rather than focusing exclusively on the elite level, the contributors cast a wide net to examine civil-military relations from various vantage points: at "the center" and in the provinces; between civilian and military leaders; from strictly military and civilian perspectives; and from the angle of emerging domestic issues and trends that cut across all sectors of the society and polity and so too have an impact within the military itself.
