Central Documents and Politburo Politics in China . By Kenneth Lieberthal. [Ann Arbor: University of Michigan, 1978. Michigan Papers in Chinese Studies No. 33. 201 pp. $4.00.]

For obvious reasons the dramatic changes in China's political climate during the past four years have directed the attention of western political scientists to the actual process of decision-making in the People's Republic. Since 1966 an essential part of that decision-making process has been revealed through the Politburo's chung-fa (i.e., " centrally issued ") documents. Although by no means all of each year's series have become available outside China, a substantial number have. It is these Politburo chung-fa the central documents of the title which are the subject for analysis in this monograph.
