  THE EAST PSYCHOANALYZED - New York Times
Pye, a professor of political science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, resuscitates a psycho-cultural version of Oriental despotism, a paradigm that has afflicted Western perceptions of Asia since Aristotle.
Pye follows Hegel, Mill, Marx and even Max Weber in constructing an Asia that is as flawed as it is different.
Pye submits them to simple-minded psychological theories: how parents treat their children, how Mao Zedong's mother abandoned him, how the narcissism of Indian leaders flows from parental overindulgence, become the primal cause of ideas and social action.

 Harvard University Press: Asian Power and Politics: The Cultural Dimensions of Authority by Lucian W. Pye
As culture decides the course of political development, Pye shows how Asian societies, confronted with the task of setting up modern nation-states, respond by fashioning paternalistic forms of power that satisfy their deep psychological craving for security.
This new paternalism may appear essentially authoritarian to Western eyes, but Pye maintains that it is a valid response to the people's needs and will ensure community solidarity and strong group loyalties.
Lucian Pye is Ford Professor of Political Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the author of Mao Tse-Tung: The Man in the Leader.

 Harvard University Press: Spirit of Chinese Politics, New edition by Lucian W. Pye
Lucian Pye, one of the most knowledgeable observers of China, unfolds in this book a deep psychological analysis of Chinese political culture.
The dynamics of the Cultural Revolution, the behavior of the Red Guards, and the compulsions of Mao Tse-tung are among the important symptoms examined.
In this new edition Pye adds a chapter on the basic tension between consensus and conflict in the operation of Chinese politics, illustrating the "spirit" in action, and another discussing the great gap that persists between the worlds of the political leadership and of society at large in post-Tiananmen China.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Pye Sees Ardent Maoism After Succession Struggle For New Chinese Regime
It is inconceivable that anyone will be able to challenge the great Maoist tradition in the near future, Pye said, but this rigid period is not apt to be very extended.
Recently, however, Pye continued, "it has become fashionable to deal with and be flexible over relations with China.
There are new forces emerging in the Far East, Pye continued, and we must learn a new and flexible, marginal role in the power struggle.

 Claim of 'xenophobia' unfair   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
According to Lucian Pye, the Chinese public love to hate the West (especially the United States) out of their frustrated feelings, which result from a lack of "a more coherent sense of modern identity." Pye seems to hold the view that China is now "a spiritual wasteland" with no solid moorings for its people.
Chinese in pursuit of a better life tend to be more practical, but their pragmatism is spiritually rooted in the now popular work ethic that one will get more if one works harder.
Pye's conclusion is farfetched in that Chinese national sentiments have resulted from their awakening consciousness of protecting national interests rather than from "frustration."

 China expert Pye examines Tiananmen massacre
According to Pye, Tiananmen has become a symbol of change and of the uncertainty that has overtaken the Communist world.
Pye emphasized that even though the country's mood remained good until 1987, many problems existed in China even four years before the Tiananmen crisis.
In the aftermath of the 1986 crackdown, students began to assume the leadership of China's reform movement, Pye said.

 friendly printed version:Willful Ignorance: How the Pentagon sent the army to Iraq without a counterinsurgency doctrine
In 1964, the old Asia hand Lucian Pye astutely noted that, despite a long and well-documented history of insurgent warfare in the world, governments that have faced insurgencies--or were once insurgents themselves--tend to be quick at forgetting their roots.
For militaries, this loss of memory has not been passive, but rather reflects a conscious effort to marginalize insurgency studies.

 THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON
The organization should be non-governmental; its membership should include Americans from a wide range of sectors; it would not advocate for a particular position; and it would reach out to the younger generation.
Professor Pye pointed to diversity and flexibility as two keys to the Committee’s endurance and strength.
From the onset, the Committee welcomed a diverse set of views (its founders included academics, Quakers, business people and former diplomats), as it was felt that this enabled issues to be fully considered from a range of perspectives.
