Chinese foreign policy during the Cultural Revolution showed what the costs were when the Party elected to run the risk of violating several of the cardinal principles of its own policy and of international systemic behavior.

The harbingers of the Cultural Revolution were analyzed in Volume 14 and Volume 15 traces a course of events still only partially understood by most Chinese.

Chinese-Soviet Relations in the Context of Asian and International Politics
During the 1970s Sino-Soviet relations changed very little: the entire ten years saw continued military confrontation, diplomatic encirclement and counterencirclement, ideological estrangement, and the atrophy of economic ties. In contrast, all around the two countries, and throughout the globe, the character of political and economic relations changed more in this decade than in any other period in the last two centuries, save perhaps the years …

Political Succession in China
There are at least four approaches useful in predicting what will happen in China after Mao. The “environmental approach” stresses that the Chinese setting—physical, cultural, economic, and international—will govern the courses taken by political actors. The “personality approach” is the opposite, stressing that people, not their surroundings, will determine succession politics. The “societal approach” postulates that it is society (defined as th…

The Sino-Soviet Border Dispute: Background, Development, and the March 1969 Clashes
Sino-Soviet border fighting in early 1969 had many causes. The two Damansky Island incidents, moreover, were quite different in level of conflict and outcome. Only an investigation of the details of the incidents, together with a composite analysis of domestic, foreign policy, and international political variables suffices to determine what actually happened and why. Fitting the pieces together reveals that the Chinese caused the March 2 incident…

The View from Peking: China's Policies Towards the United States, the Soviet Union and Japan
WX TITH THE ADMISSION of the Chinese People's Republic to the United Nations, and the Nixon visit to Peking, it became apparent that Chinese foreign policy had entered a new stage, though still retaining elements reminiscent of the I954-I958 era of peaceful coexistence. But that policy is the product of a number of foreign and domestic factors, most of which are not within its control, and the enormous gaps in our knowledge of events within China…

Peking's Revolutionary Strategy in the Developing World: The Failures of Success
Three facets of China's strategy of revolutionary war are examined in this article: (1) the Mao Tse-tung-Lin Piao theory of "people's war"; (2) the history of Chinese Communist involvement abroad in promoting "national liberation wars"; and (3) some constraints upon this instrument of Chinese policy. The contradiction between theory and practice is explained by real-world restraints upon Chinese desires. The Maoist theory is essentially an analog…
