Paper Abstract: Historic role of military as a major force in China's politics and economy. China's evolving defense policy shift between national defense and defense of its borders. Restructuring in the relationship between China's military and its emerging market economy. Relationship of political and military branches. Multiple roles of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Paper Introduction: Military and Civilian Authority in China Historically, China’s military has always been a major force in the country’s politics and economy (Starr, 2001, p. 90). However, as the country has developed over the last century, the military’s role, though no less significant, has evolved. In particular, China’s defense policy has shifted from national defense through the defense of its interior to national defense through a defense of its borders. This evolving defense policy combined with China’s economic reform policies of the late 20th century has necessarily caused an evolution in the relationship between China’s controlling political authority and its military branch, as well as a restructuring in the relationship between China’s military and its emerging market economy.
