内容説明
Ellis Joffe has drawn on a lifetime of experience as an analyst of Chinese military affairs in this authoritative assessment of a highly elusive subject: military modernization and the politics of civilian-military relations in the post-Mao period. He has sifted vast amounts of evidence, primary and secondary, to show that during the past few years the Chinese army has been transformed into a relatively modern and professional force that will be the basis for future growth of China s military power.
The author begins by describing the development of the People s Liberation Army in the Maoist era and explains the reasons for its decline. He analyzes the political changes and the shifts in strategic outlook of Mao s successors that have made possible a new policy of military modernization: a policy of raising the combat capability of the PLA through slow improvements of technology including buying some material abroad and a thorough upgrading of the nontechnological components of military power.
Joffe examines all aspects of the PLA s modernization, focusing on the wide-ranging changes in doctrine, weapons, organization, structure, and modes of operation, and concludes with an analysis of the PLA s political role and the state of civil military relations. There is a particularly perspicacious chapter dissecting Deng s maneuvers to remove the military influence in politics that had burgeoned during and after the Cultural Revolution."
