The study of policing in China is a small but growing subfield with critical insights for law and society scholars. This article examines the fundamentals of policing, tracing the organization's history and institutional basics before turning to a review of the emerging literature. Scholars have made headway analyzing topics like policing practices, social control, public relations, and police perspectives, but there is still much work to be done. Partly because research on the police faces methodological challenges, the literature is uneven, leaving gaps in our knowledge about key issues such as police corruption, regional variation, and the relationship between police and private security groups. By outlining what we do and do not know about policing in China, this article parses the field's best answers to questions of how police officers and the Public Security Bureau enforce state mandates and respond to challenges on the ground.

U.S.-China relations experienced significant change during the Reagan administration. In contrast to the 1970s, when China criticized American "appeasement" of the Soviet Union and U.S.-Taiwan diplomatic relations, and to the early Reagan years, when China threatened to downgrade relations over American arms sales to Taiwan and badgered Washington on a host of lesser issues, relations were remarkably free from challenges to a developing and expanding relationship from late 1983 until the June 1989 massacre.

A proposal for ensuring peace between nations in the South China Sea region is presented. An overview of the People's Republic of China's current policy reveals multiple contradictions in its regional politics. Present-day China is plagued by six distinct kinds of problems: military, legal, energy supply, environmental, relations with Taiwan, & governmental. Consequently, a six-stage proposal is offered for China's future policy program in the South China Sea region to overcome these problems: (1) Negotiate a bilateral treaty with Vietnam on the Gulf of Tonkin. (2) Use Taiwan to negotiate treaties with several neighboring countries. (3) Reach an agreement with the Philippines over the Scarborough Reef. (4) Promote a redefinition of maritime zones into 12-nautical-mile territorial zones. (5) Establish its continental shelf & exclusive economic zone. & (6) Address the controversy surrounding the Spratly Islands. It is concluded that China's failure to follow such a proposal may irrevocably damage peace prospects for the region, especially in light of the dwindling of regional fish reserves. 4 Maps. J. W.

During the reform era, there have been two important developments in China's administrative system. First, there has been a moderate degree of administrative decentralization in the area of cadre appointment. Secondly, the centre has sought to regulate the appointment decisions that it no longer control directly and to monitor officials' performance and conduct. The author examines administrative monitoring. (DÜI-Sen)
