ABSTRACTS
The United States and the Reemergence of Independent Japan
T w o ISSUES DOMINATED American policy toward Japan in the years immediately following the signing of the peace treaty of 1951: defense and trade. T o
American leaders, defense and trade were two aspects of the vital question of
how to keep Japan aligned with the United States after the end of the American
occupation. Recently released documents from the presidential offices of T r u man and Eisenhower, from the State Department, and from the CIA indicate
that American officials, while pressing Japan to rearm in the face of a seeming
Chinese and Soviet threat, came fairly quickly to a realistic understanding of the
limits of diplomatic coercion. O n the subject of trade, however, American
estimates were fundamentally misguided, premised on the assumption that the
Japanese economy would revive only slowly, if at all.
The Patterns of Japanese Relations with China, 1952-1982
POSTWAR
RELATIONS between Japan and the People's Republic of China are
studied primarily from a Japanese point of view. Three broad periods are
identified: (1) the period of Japanese public support of Western policy toward
China but private contrition toward China because of Japan's wartime actions
there, 1949-71; (2) the period of euphoria, of so-called "China fever," from
Nixon's overture to China to China's unilateral cancellation of major Japanese
industrial projects, 1971-81; and (3) the school textbook controversy of 1982
concerning Japan's treatment of its own history of imperialism in East Asia. Two
major conclusions emerge: (1) between the mid- 1950s and the late- l97Os, the
P.R.C. was able to manipulate Japanese public opinion emotionally and to take
political advantage of Japan in their bilateral relations; but (2) despite this
manipulation, Japan's postwar China policy has been subtle, sophisticated, and
largely successful.
Crisis in Nepal's Partyless Panchayat System: The Case
for More Democracy
THESTRUGGLE BETWEEN the panchayat system, introduced in 1962, and
supporters of a multi-party system in Nepal eventually led the king to announce
a national referendum in 1979. This referendum was to decide whether to retain
the panchayat system together with some constitutional reforms, or switch back
to a multi-party system. T h e referendum result supported the former choice,
and so helped to legitimize the panchayat system, but it failed to resolve the
deadlock over the future type of government. T h e opposition forces became
tougher and the government more repressive, which involved the country in
violent terrorism in mid-1985. T h e fundamental issue is the question of sharing
power between the king and the people. Such a development would not only be in
the interests of the country, but also in the long-term interests of the monarchy.
The South Pacific Nuclear-Weapon-FreeZone
THEWORLD'S second treaty to project military denuclearization of an inhabited
area, the Rarotonga Treaty emulates, but also departs from, Latin America's
Tlatelolco Treaty. Prohibitions safeguarding obligations and protocols for
nuclear-weapon states (NWS) are similar. Rarotonga is stricter on nuclear
exports and nuclear waste. Regional conditions differ. Unlike Latin America, the
South Pacific has no nuclear threshold states, and thus no potential boycotters;
but it does face nuclear testing by a metropolitan power (France), a major
obstacle to Rarotonga fulfillment. T h e other NWS are apt to move soon to
provide "negative guarantees." T h e New Zealand port-controversy and wariness
about anti-nuclear feelings may delay the United States from doing so. Rarotonga, which essentially confirms the status quo, although rich in symbols is not
necessarily a precursor to a spread of free-zones.

Masters of Tradition
Consequences of Customary Land Tenure
in Londana, Vanuatu
Margaret C. Rodman
Land, copra and custom-dominant themes in the colonial history of the
New Hebrides-remain crucial concerns in Vanuatu, the name adopted in
1980, as the republic's peasant society changes from small copra producers to participants in world market economies. Rodman details how the
"chain of copra" works-from the commodity markets of Europe to the
native producers and back again. She challenges theories about the dependency of small producers in world markets, demonstrating that the islanders do in fact retain a measure of control over their economic activities in
production and marketing-much of this indigenous power arising through,
not in defiance of, traditional avenues to wealth and prestige. At the same
time, new forms of social inequality, stemming from the response of
customary land-holding to the exigencies of cash-cropping, are masked by
tradition.

Relative State Autonomy and Development Strategy
in Bangladesh, 1975-198 1
During the Zia regime (1975-81), the civil and military bureaucrats were
dominant in the state apparatus of Bangladesh, which led to the formation of an
"administrative state." During this period the state followed a pro-growth
strategy; in so doing, it was motivated mainly by its "distinctive interests" rather
than as the instrument of the dominant class(es). Since there was no strong
indigenous or metropolitan bourgeoisie in Bangladesh, the state played a
"relatively autonomous" role in its development strategy. The "pure growth"
strategy was beneficial to the state bureaucracy, because it worked as a source of
legitimacy for the regime and also made possible increased defence and
administrative expenditures as well as higher salaries and other fringe benefits
for civil and military bureaucrats alike.
Behind a Partially-Open Door: Chinese Intellectuals
and the Post-Mao Reform Process
T h e last decade has marked a profound change in Chinese intellectual life:
whereas self-reliance and anti-intellectualism were the main tenets of the lateMao era, the Deng Xiaoping regime has been pressing for more economic
openness to the West and for a reappreciation of highly-trained intellectuals.
T h e new, official policy of kaimen (open-door policy) is here contrasted with
increasing pressures for kaifang (relaxation of ideological controls) from below.
This latter term is used to designate the goals of various generations of Chinese
intellectuals prominent in public life today. On the basis of their distinctive
historical experiences, these generations are constantly testing, challenging and
stretching the parameters of intellectual reform. Intra-generational tensions and
inter-generational collaboration are seen as the key to the vitality of the current
reforms. That vitality, in the end, will depend on the resolution of a longstanding tension between "Chineseness" (native cultural identity reinforced by
state orthodoxy) and critical ideas appropriated from the West.
Leadership and Authority in the Chinese Communist Party:
Perspectives from the 1950s
This work uses recently published party history materials in China and the
press from the 1950s, to examine elite conflicts over the role of the leader in
Chinese Communist Party decision-making. Whereas Chinese historiography
and much Western scholarship believes that Mao's assertion of personal power
did not become an issue until the 1959 Lushan Plenum, this most fundamental
conflict over political authority and policy-making procedure in the CCP's top
councils began much earlier in the post-1949 period. This early conflict, which
was played out in the press and major party debates and decisions, is then
interpreted in terms of the current post-Mao leadership's effort to establish
institutional controls on the single leader's authority to prevent yet another
degeneration into a Mao-like despotism.
Defusion and Accommodation: The Contending Strategies
of the Congress Party and the Akali Dal in Punjab
In many ways the Congress Party and the Akali Dal in Punjab are polar
opposites. Both subscribe to mutually exclusive strategies of conflict management. While the Congress Party is defusionist in its inter-party behaviour and
accommodationist on the intra-party plane, the Akali Dal is accommodationist in
inter-party relations and defusionist in intra-Akali matters. These strategies are
forced on them by the social context of Punjab, where the Hindus and the Sikhs
are nearly evenly balanced. T h e social composition of the two parties-as well as
their support structure-is such that they have to follow these contradictory
strategies. Consequently factionalism in the Akali Dal often culminates in a split,
whereas in the Congress Party it does not.
