I want to thank Henry Lucas for helping to transform the question-
naire data into coherent tables, and Maureen Dickson, Nancy Kaul, Ann
Manley, Fiona Pearson, and Ethel Royston for their patient good will in
deciphering and typing successive drafts.

The Institute of Development Studies at Sussex University, England,

Material from some of the chapters has appeared in papers written
for China Quarterly (Autumn 1980), Comparative Education Review
(Summer 1980), Contemporary China (Summer 1979), and Pacific Affairs
(Spring 1980).
