About this Item

v, [1], 253, [1] p. : Illustrations. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "If there is one constant in expert analyses of the history of modern China, it is the characterization of a country perpetually in the throes of crises. While China at the mid-point of the Twenty-first Century's first decade is arguably the most secure and stable it has been in more than a century, crises continue to emerge with apparent frequency. The study of China's behavior in conditions of tension and stress is of considerable importance to policy makers and analysts around the world. This volume represents the fruits of a conference held at the U.S. Army War College in September 2005 on the theme of "Chinese Crisis Management." One of the major debates that emerged was whether all the case studies under examination constituted crises in the eyes of China's leaders. The consensus was that not all of those incidents were perceived as crises. The term "decision making under stress" was adopted as presenters revised their papers for publication." Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.
