description: -- Offers the first detailed analysis of Deng Xiaoping's "Grand Compromise"-- Profiles the political will and tenacity of one of the greatest transformational political leaders of the twentieth centuryChina and the Legacy of Deng Xiaoping documents a turning point in the Chinese communist revolution that elevates Deng to a role equal to that of Mao. Dr. Marti explores post-Tiananmen domestic political wrangling and offers the first documentation of Deng's efforts to link all the major elements of society -- the PLA, the Party, the revolutionary elders, and the regional governors -- into a coalition whose survival depends on the success of his economic policies.Understanding this sense of commitment to China's long-term goals has significant implications for predicting the outcome of the current struggle between the hard-liners and reformers. By providing a new interpretation of Chinese behavior, China and the Legacy of Deng Xiaoping adds to the current debate among policy makers and academicians over the future direction of Chinese policy.
