Books by David E. Apter

This unique interpretation of the revolutionary process in China uses empirical evidence as well as concepts from contemporary cultural studies. Apter and Saich base their analysis on recently available primary sources on party history, accounts of the Long March and Yan'an period, and interviews with veterans and their relatives.

Reconstructing the dramatic struggle surrounding the building of the New Tokyo (Narita) International Airport near Sanrizuka, this scrutiny of modern protest politics dispels the myth of corporate Japan's unassailable success, while showing that the problems of the Narita situation are also endemic to other industrialized countries.

David E Apter reviews the efficacy of the concepts in his original study of bureaucratic nationalism in Uganda of almost a century ago, including some, such as consociationalism', which have entered into the mainstream of comparative politics.
