  • Associations in a Bind: The Emergence of Political Corporatism

    Xin Zhang, Richard BaumCHAPTERAssociations and the Chinese…2014

    During the 1980s, as the Chinese state moved to free up the economy and to relax direct Party controls over society, it needed mechanisms to bridge the gaps in control that were created. As noted in the preceding chapter, very large numbers of associations were accordingly established, usually on the government’s own initiative, to serve as intermediaries between the state and diverse constituencies and spheres of activity. This range from associ…

  • Clientelism with Chinese Characteristics: Local Patronage Networks in Post-Reform China

    Open AccessWooyeal Paik, Richard BaumARTICLEPolitical Science Quarterly2014Cited by: 7

    OVER THE PAST DECADE AND MORE, observers of contemporary Chinese society and politics have noted a growing credibility gap in that country. While the faith of ordinary Chinese in the virtuous intentions of their central government in Beijing has remained high, popular attitudes toward sub-provincial governments have been marked by widespread and growing anger and distrust.1 In this article, we examine a key source of the growing frustration and a…

    Open AccessFrederick C Teiwes, Kenneth Lieberthal et al.BOOKPolitics of China2011

    Thirty years ago, China was emerging from one of the most traumatic periods in its history.

  • From “Strategic Partners” to “Strategic Competitors”: George W. Bush and the Politics of U.S. China Policy

    Open AccessRichard BaumARTICLEJournal of East Asian Studies2001Cited by: 3References: 3

    Ever since Richard Nixon's 1972 “opening” to China, U.S. presidential election campaigns have been the occasion for the opposition party to strongly challenge the incumbent president's policy of engagement toward China. Once in power, however, successful challengers (Carter, Reagan, Clinton) have softened their criticism and accepted the strategic necessity of cooperation with China. In the first stage of this cycle, the 2000 election appeared to…

  • Britain's ‘betrayal’ of Hong Kong: A second look

    Richard BaumARTICLEJournal of Contemporary China1999Cited by: 1References: 3

    Claims of British bungling and betrayal were repeatedly raised during the prolonged run‐up to the 1997 Hong Kong handover. This paper seeks to evaluate such claims. It examines five controversial episodes of reputed British mishandling of the Hong Kong transition: (1) Governor Murray MacLehose's reputed double faux pas of March 1979, when the governor first putatively erred by prematurely (and unnecessarily) raising the ‘1997 question’ in a routi…

  • Enter the dragon: China's courtship of Hong Kong, 1982–1999

    Open AccessRichard BaumARTICLECommunist and Post-Communist…1999Cited by: 1References: 4

    From 1982, when the Chinese government first signalled its intention to take back Hong Kong, to the actual transfer of sovereignty in 1997, the PRC engaged in a long-term campaign to “win friends and influence people” in the British colony. Hoping to prevent a large-scale flight of capital and manpower, and wishing to cultivate a core group of sympathetic local notables as future political leaders, Beijing issued frequent pledges of non-interfere…

  • The road to Tiananmen: Chinese politics in the 1980s

    Open AccessRichard Baum, Richard P BaumCHAPTERThe Politics of China1997

    By the time the Twelfth Party Congress met in September 1982, China's new leaders had done much to overcome the post-Mao crisis of confidence. They had repudiated Mao's Cultural Revolution, renounced his economic theories, and reinstated his purged opponents. But acknowledging past mistakes was one thing; charting a viable course for the future was quite another. Although members of the reform coalition forged by Deng Xiaoping could agree among t…

  • A Portfolio of Lunar Drawings

    Open AccessHarold Hill, Richard Baum et al.BOOKPortfolio of Lunar Drawings1991

    Harold Hill's lunar portfolio is a unique collection of drawings now published for the first time. Each illustration is supplemented with notes made at the time of observation. Astronomical drawing still has an important place alongside photography in the same way that photography has not supplanted the artist in the fields of botany and ornithology, for example. Indeed, since astronomical images tend to shimmer because of turbulence in the Earth…
