12548. IMPERIALISM VERSUS IMPERIALISM: THE SINO-SOVIET CONFLICT AND POLITICAL SCIENCE THEORY. Complete, well-written survey of this crucial yet often overlooked aspect of late 20th Century world history. Covers from 1949 to 1981, including early signals of conflict, and the slow evolution from "esoteric" arguments couched in abstract Marxist theory (after 1956) to name-calling behind closed doors (after 1960) to public name-calling and border clashes of regular troops and solicitation of America's support (after 1969), the complications of the Vietnam war and Kissinger's diplomacy, and finally the all-out "proxy war" involving Cambodia, Vietnam, and China's invasion of Vietnam 1979-81. conclusion emphasizes the lack of popular participation, the small rewards gained by both sides, Mao's lack of cunning and vision in his strategies and tactics, the inabilities of classic theories of imperialism to explain this history, and how this sorry tale of useless imperial greed can be reconciled with realist and environmentalist political science theories. 25p. 15b. 70f.
