Ogden (political science, Northeastern U.) begins with a theoretical framework for understanding Chinese politics after 1949, followed by an overview of China's history, culture, and post-1949 policies. She then examines seven unresolved issues: economic development, socialist legality and control, class struggle, leadership and bureaucracy, education and political culture, and the meaning of socialism in China today.
