The Maoist Model, Development & Democracy

Events of the last few years in the People's Republic of China have left many Westerners a little breathless at the rapidity and scope of change. Their astonishment is magnified by the contrast of recent events to those of the period of the Cultural Revolution. Post-Maoist China has explicitly rejected many of the central policies of the Cultural Revolution. Criticism of the arbitrary and repressive tendencies of the late Maoist period is rampant. Repeated calls are heard for the institution of the rule of law. Nonetheless, it remains clear that China has neither instituted the rule of law nor set out on a political course leading to Westernstyle democracy. Besides the new policies of post-Maoist China: the emphasis on material incentives, the promotion of technical expertise, cultural liberalization, and the abandonment of the ceaseless political meetings-much remains in contemporary China which has its origins in the policies and political style of Mao and the Cultural Revolution.
