  • The Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War, 1945–49

    The Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War, 1945–49

    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:24 09 May 2016 The Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War, 1945–49 This book examines the Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War of 1945–49, which resulted in the victory of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over Chiang Kaishek and the Guomindang (GMD) and the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. It provides a military and strategic history of how the CCP waged and ultimately won the war, the transformation of its armed forces, and how the Communist leaders interacted with each other. Whereas most explanations of the CCP’s eventual victory focus on the Sino- Japanese War of 1937–45, when the revolution was supposedly won as a result of the Communists’ invention of “peasant nationalism,” this book shows that the outcome of the revolution was not a foregone conclusion in 1945. It explains how the eventual victory of the Communists resulted from important strategic decisions taken on both sides, in particular the remarkable transformation of the Communist army from an insurgent / guerrilla force into a conventional army. The book also explores how the hierarchy of the People’s Republic of China developed during the war. It shows how Mao’s power was based as much on his military acumen as his political thought, above all his role in formulating and implementing a successful military strategy in the war of 1945–49. It also describes how other important figures, such as Lin Biao, Deng Xiaoping, Nie Rongzhen, Liu Shaoqi, and Chen Yi, made their reputations during the conflict, and reveals the inner workings of the First generation political-military elite of the PRC.

    Additional Comments on Forging Environmentalism: “Forging

    Additional comments on Forging Environmentalism: “Forging Environmentalism takes up cutting-edge questions from the ‘greening’ of China to environmental justice to questions of good governance in the environmental realm and helps readers see the complexity and urgency of the underlying issues.” —DAN ESTY, Yale University “The comparative study of values is as difficult as it is essential. Forging Environmentalism is a feast for everyone attracted to this necessary project, and required reading for all those who want to understand the complex values driving environmental degradation in Asia and the United States.” —DALE JAMIESON, New York University “This remarkable study compares environmental values, local mobi- lization and policy, via case studies from diverse countries. It does so by close observation in communities, by in-depth interviews, and by tracking environmental mobilization on the ground. These rich studies will be insightful to the environmental scholar and this book should become a unique resource for graduate seminars on the global environmental movement.” —WILLETT KEMPTON, Coauthor, Environmental Values in American Culture The Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is the world’s leading voice promoting ethical leadership on issues of war, peace and global social justice.

    An Analysis of the Influence of Prince on Music Marketing OUTSTANDING PAPER – Arts, Music & Entertainment

    A Royal Revolution: An analysis of the influence of Prince on music marketing OUTSTANDING PAPER – Arts, Music & Entertainment Deirdre T. Guion Peoples, [email protected] Introduction “Albums — remember those? Albums still matter. Albums, like books and black lives, still matter." These are the opening words for the presentation of album of the year at the 57th annual Grammy Awards for what we now know was one of the last television appearances of Prince (Gajewski and Lee 2015). Embodied in that one line is the culmination of a careers’-long battle for acknowledgement, acceptance, and control by an entertainer who refused to play by the rules of the recording industry. Prince figured out early in his career that the link between a musician and their audience was marketing. Marketing that typically was developed and controlled by the record label and not the musician. This study uses the culture production system (CPS) to explore how the musical artist Prince launched a revolution against the marketing practices of the music industry while capitalizing on some of those same practices to craft his image and propel his career. Along the way Prince paved a path for future artists to better maintain control of their artistic output. In exchange for fronting all of the production, distribution and marketing expenses of a musician’s recordings, the record labels also retained ownership of those recordings in accordance with the “work for hire” provision of the Copyright Act of 1976. This long-standing industry practice to include ownership of songs as a part of a recording contract has been a point of contention for several musicians (Sisario 2016).
