Results and Problems of the Study of Oriental Despotism
Periodic gatherings of Orientalists are fully meaningful only when they serve as forums for the discussion of important developments in the major fields of their professional concern: Oriental languages, literature and ideas, history and institutions. Having worked for decades in the latter fields with China as a starting point and the comparison of institutions as a central target, I would like to discuss here some of the problems connected with…

The Sino-Soviet Conflict, 1956-1961
Agrarian Problems and the Moscow-Peking Axis
Officially the one-centeredness of the Communist world ended in 1943. In that year the Communist International, which had recognized the Communist Party of the Soviet Union as the hegemon, was dissolved, because the new political situation demanded the "great flexibility and independence" of the various "sections." The people's democracies that a few years later came into being in Eastern Europe emphasized, as Brzezinski has noted, that they "wer…
Oriental Despotism. A Comparative Study of Total Power
The Legend of “Maoism” (concluded)
In the first part of this article I argued that the “Maoist” thesis is a “Maoist” legend. It is so because it is based on a false concept of Marxist-Leninist orthodoxy. And it is so also for two other reasons. Contrary to “Maoist” assertions, Mao in his Hunan Report did not outline a concept for a Communist-led peasant-supported revolution; and he did not, in 1940, present himself as an original top-ranking Marxist-Leninist theoretician.
The Marxist View of Russian Society and Revolution
The victory of communism is inevitable.” This claim has been made since the consolidation of the Soviet Union, and it has been restated with relish by the Kremlin's supreme spokesman during his recent visits abroad. It rests on the argument that Russian society, in accordance with the Marxist-Leninist doctrine, has advanced from feudalism to capitalism and socialism, blazing a trail along which all other countries are bound to go. Thus the superi…

Chinese Society
Traditional China was an agrarian society which experienced a significant development of handicraft and commerce. In this respect, China was similar to medieval Europe and to certain pre-Hellenistic civilizations of the northern and western Mediterranean. However, while these Western agrarian civilizations ultimately lost their societal identity, Chinese society perpetuated its basic features for millennia. And while medieval Europe saw a commerc…

Oriental Despotism
The Ruling Bureaucracy of Oriental Despotism
When Marx, in 1849, took up permanent residence in London, he devoted himself once more—and with great thoroughness—to the study of the classical economists. And he accepted, along with many other ideas of Adam Smith, Richard Jones, and John Suart Mill, their conviction that, outside and independent of the Western world, there existed a specific institutional conformation, which they called Asiatic or Oriental society

The Influence of Leninism-Stalinism on China
MAO TSE-TUNG, in a statement made in 1949, ascribes the stupendous recent successes of the Chinese Communists to the fact that they are disciples of Marx and Lenin: The Chinese found the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism which holds good everywhere, and the face of China was changed. 1 But their relation to Marxism is neither direct nor independent. The Chinese found Marxism through the introduction of the Russians;2 and the Russians who accomp…
Russia and Asia
The educated American of the middle nineteenth century who took an inventory of his knowledge of the world found himself much more poorly informed on Asia than on Europe. The reason for this is manifest. America's relations with Asia were fragmented and peripheral, trade alone being a major concern. Interaction with Europe proceeded on an entirely different plane: For the New World, Europe was an inexhaustible source of population increase and pe…
Public Office in The Liao Dynasty and The Chinese Examination System
A systematic study of the first of China's great dynasties of conquest, Liao (907-1125), reveals its dual structure both in the sphere of economy and in the organization of the state. The Ch'itan masters entrusted important administrative functions to their Chinese subjects, particularly in the agricultural or southern region. But they took great care to reserve for themselves-and for a few reliable Chinese-the key positions of political and mili…

The Historical Position of Communist China
On the first of October, 1949, the Chinese Communists* climaxed their military success by establishing on the mainland a new revolutionary government, the “Chinese People's Republic.” While this government included a number of splinter parties, it was—and is—undisguisedly dominated by the Chinese Communist Party. The new rulers, who quickly destroyed the old system of political control, are today drastically reorganizing the country's social and …
