From swords to plowshares?

The redirection of military resources and technology toward civilian production has been a key feature of the significant and wide ranging defense industry reforms launched by the PRC in the late 1970s. Dr. Folta analyzes the degree to which the implementation of the reforms has met the expectations of the Beijing leadership. He also explores how these goals directly parallel and support the PRC's overal economic reforms, such as the trend to restructure industry and enhance the autonomy of local enterprises. Defense industry reforms, including the emphasis on cutting general weapons production while modernizing and improving weapons systems, have been consistent with deep changes in the military establishment and strategic doctrine of the PRC. - Back cover.
