In recent years there have been reports of actions purportedly taken by Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) units without civilian authorization, and of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) civilian leaders seeking to curry favor with the military-suggesting that a nationalistic and increasingly influential PLA is driving more assertive Chinese policies on a range of military and sovereignty issues. To many experienced PLA watchers, however, the PLA remains a party-army that is responsive to orders from the CCP. PLA Influence on Chinas National Security Policymaking seeks to assess the real relationship between the PLA and its civilian masters by moving beyond media and pundit speculation to mount an in-depth examination and explanation of the PLAs role in national security policymaking. After examining the structural factors that shape PLA interactions with the Party-State, the book uses case studies to explore the PLAs role in foreign policy crises. It then assesses the PLAs role in Chinas territorial disputes and in military interactions with civilian government and business, exploring the militarys role in Chinas civil-military integration development strategy. The evidence reveals that todays PLA does appear to have more influence on purely military issues than in the past-but much less influence on political issues-and to be more actively engaged in policy debates on mixed civil-military issues where military equities are at stake. About author(s): Phillip C. Saunders is Director of the Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs at the National Defense University.
