Groups and Politics in the People's Republic of China
ed. David S.G. Goodman
1984
This volume of collected articles applies group theories of politics, usually used in the study of pluralistic societies, to China in an unprecedented way. However, argues Peter Ferdinand, the Chinese political system is not completely unified, which justifies the use of group theories, especially if "interest group" is redefined in a manner more appropriate to the Chinese context.
The bulk of the work explores the impact of different groups on the Chinese political system and specifically policymaking. The articles address such group issues as elite factionalism; economists who support different approaches; provincial party first secretaries as political middlemen; the PLA; different substrata of the teaching profession as coherent and effective interest groups; the channels by which peasants express their perceived or "subjective" concerns; Jürgen Domes examines elite factionalism in "Intra-Elite Group Formation and Conflict in the PRC," distinguishing between types of group formation processes which lead to short-term opinion groups or long-term factions. Barbara Krug's article, "The Economists in Chinese Politics," discusses three conceptually different approaches to the new purely economic concerns. In "Provincial Party First Secretaries in National Politics: A Categoric or a Politic Group?," Goodman concludes that the officials in the title are political middlemen and therefore unlikely to act as a coherent political group. Nevertheless, he continues, they do informally participate in the decision-making process. Gerald Segal's view of the PLA is that it qualifies as a group but because it lacks common interests, it does not come into conflict with other groups ("The Military as a Group in Chinese Politics"). Teachers, on the other hand, exhibit significant group coherence within substrata of the profession, and as a whole have influenced educational policies both positively and negatively in the past two decades. (Gordon White, "Distributive Politics and Educational Development: Teachers as a Political Interest Group"). John P. Burns concentrates on the channels through which peasants articulate their perceived or "subjective" concerns; he sees a cumulative impact on the part of peasants on national policymaking, but notes that this occurs mostly outside of official channels and thus constitutes a failure of institutionalization ("Chinese Peasant Interest Articulation"). In "Workers in the Workers' State: Urban Workers in the PRC," Tony Saich observes a reasonable degree of participation by urban workers as well, but maintains that their organization continues to be dominated by the Party. Intellectuals, according to James Cotton ("Intellectuals as a Group in the Chinese Political Process"), have seen their position as a group improve throughout the history of the CCP regime, although the scientific/technological substratum has enjoyed disproportionately greater privileges.
