Studies on China 14
Content:
The reforms that began at the end of the 1970s created opportunities for unprecedented scholarly access to government agencies in the People's Republic of China (PRC), thus vastly increasing our potential for understanding bureaucratic relationships and policy processes there. The resulting research quickly began to yield a small harvest of publications, which moved our understanding beyond the limitations of the documentary sources and refugee interviewing on which scholars had relied for the most part until then. It became increasingly possible to probe perceptions, to trace in detail specific policy decisions, to become familiar with the recommendations made by various staff organs, to match formal bureaucratic relationships against actual behavior of officials, and so forth.
