reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA032282 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The paper, based on a longer study of interest groups in China between 1956 and 1971, focuses primarily on alternative ways of defining Chinese interest groups and secondarily on describing their behavior. The study hypothesizes the existence of interest groups engaged in a competition for power on Chinas domestic stage. The problem for research and analysis has been to identify and evaluate indicators of interest group existence and behavior.
