Concentration, control, and conflict in China and the Soviet Union: A comparative-historical interpretation.
Lupher, Mark Gregory.

Concentration, control, and conflict in China and the Soviet Union: A comparative-historical interpretation. - 539 p.

Chairman: Harold L. Wilensky.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 1988.

The dissertation compares and explains power relations during three pivotal periods in Soviet and Chinese Communist history. The discussion begins with an overview of power relations in imperial China and imperial Russia and concludes with a detailed interpretation of the Chinese Cultural Revolution and power relations in contemporary China. The analytic framework is three-dimensional, focusing on the recurrent concentration of power in the state and party apparatus in imperial times and under communism, the ensuing attempt to control and reshape economy and society, and the conflicts that arose. The analytic stance is Weberian; this three-way struggle for power between central rulers, political and economic elites, and the masses is viewed in comparative-historical perspective.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The dissertation compares and explains power relations during three pivotal periods in Soviet and Chinese Communist history. The discussion begins with an overview of power relations in imperial China and imperial Russia and concludes with a detailed interpretation of the Chinese Cultural Revolution and power relations in contemporary China. The analytic framework is three-dimensional, focusing on the recurrent concentration of power in the state and party apparatus in imperial times and under communism, the ensuing attempt to control and reshape economy and society, and the conflicts that arose. The analytic stance is Weberian; this three-way struggle for power between central rulers, political and economic elites, and the masses is viewed in comparative-historical perspective.
520 $a Three series of events in Soviet and Chinese Communist history are analyzed and compared--the formation of the Stalin system, beginning with the First Five-Year Plan and ending with the Great Purges of 1937-1938; deStalinization, and the ascendancy and fall of Khrushchev; and the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution decade of 1966-1976, and its momentous aftermath. Processes of concentration, control, and conflict assumed two distinct forms in these events. The First Five-Year Plan and the Great Leap Forward were collisions between the concentrated power and transforming impulse of party and state on the one hand, and the historic values of the Russian and Chinese peasant communities on the other. The Great Purges, Khrushchev's attempted reforms, and the Cultural Revolution were collisions between concentrated personal rulership and the rising power of a "new class" of communist officials. Yet far-reaching attempts to deconcentrate power were also undertaken by Khrushchev and Mao.
520 $a By comparing these key periods and linking power relations under communism with the imperial experience, the discussion draws attention to analogous processes in Chinese and Russian history--systems of concentrated party and state power, attempts to control and reshape economy and society from above, and dilemmas of power deconcentration. Cycles of concentration and deconcentration of power remain a central feature in contemporary Chinese Communist and Soviet society; the dissertation views these processes in systematic, comparative-historical perspective.
