Seeking Truth from Facts: A Retrospective on Chinese Military Studies in the Post-Mao Era

Abstract

This volume is the product of a conference, jointly sponsored by the RAND Center for Asia-Pacific Policy (CAPP) and the Taiwan-based Chinese Council of Advanced Policy Studies (CAPS). The meeting was held in Washington, D.C., from 8 to 11 July 1999. The meeting brought together many of the nation's top experts to assess the last 20 years of trends in Chinese civil-military relations, force structure, doctrine, and capabilities, as well as the state of the China military studies field. The resulting volume is a comprehensive retrospective on Western research on the People's Liberation Army in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Support for the publication of this volume was provided by RAND's National Security Research Division (NSRD) through it's International Security and Defense Policy Center (ISDPC).
