In Search of a Metaphor to Understand China's Changes.
Paine, Lynn
Social Education, v50 n2 p106-09 Feb 1986
Presents three theories or "perspectives" for studying recent changes in China: the modernization perspective which views changes as a form of evolutionary development, the cyclical perspective which interprets changes as the ebb and flow of normal phases, and the dialectical perspective which assumes changes stem from unresolved cultural contradictions.
