To many experienced PLA watchers, however, the PLA remains a "party-army" that is responsive to orders from the CCP. PLA Influence on China's 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 PLA's 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 PLA's role in foreign policy crises. It then assesses the PLA's role in China's territorial disputes and in military interactions with civilian government and business, exploring the military's role in China's civil?military integration development strategy. The evidence reveals that today's 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. 606 $aNational security$zChina 606 $aCivil-military relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xMilitary policy 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$y21st century 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aCivil-military relations 676 $a355/.033551 702 $aScobell$b Andrew 702 $aSaunders$b Phillip C$g(Phillip Charles),$f1966- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817395603321 996 $aPLA influence on China's national security policy-making$94035726 997 $aUNINA
