'Hyper-Maoism'
By AMOS PERLMUTTER
In "Why Vietnam Invaded Cambodia: Political Culture and the
Causes of War " (Stanford University Press, 315 pages, $18.95) Stephen
Morris presents an exceptional case of international politics in which a
weaker state provoked conflict with stronger neighboring states. This
scenario challenges one of the fundamental "common sense" assumptions of
the realist school of international relations: States behave to further
their security and economic interests.
Mr. Morris prefers to call the Cambodia-Vietnam conflict "irrational
behavior." In other words, the outcome of wars and the balance of power
among states are no longer to be explained by political realism, but by
psychology and, above all, political culture. This book therefore offers a
critical challenge to the notion in realist thinking that,
although miscalculations occur, states behave in ways that are
essentially rational.
The puzzle here is that the weaker power, Cambodia, initiated a war with
Vietnam, a more powerful nation that was supported by both the Soviet
Union and China. Cambodia's support also came from China, but to a much
lesser degree.
This constellation of states and conflict also presents a challenge to
balance-of-power theory and to the neorealist theory of bandwagoning.
Balance-of-power theory maintains that there is an equilibrium in the
international system and no one state should be stronger than all the
others combined. Bandwagoning refers to the satellite states of the great
powers, who depend on the largesse of the larger states and do not defy
them. Mr. Morris asks why Cambodia provoked Vietnam and why Hanoi, which
provoked China, decided to align with the Soviet Union when it could have
opted to remain neutral between Beijing and Moscow. He contends that the
answer is "irrationality."
"The most pervasive informal dimension of Marxist-Leninist political
culture is its paranoid tendencies," Mr. Morris writes. "All chiliastic
regimes provide collective examples of what is known in the psychiatric
profession as the Paranoid Personality Disorder, defined as 'a pattern of
pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others such that their motives
are interpreted as malevolent.' The Communist Party, especially and in some
instances only at the higher echelons, provides a paranoid political
culture."
Mr. Morris has therefore developed a theory of international relations in
which Marxist-Leninist ideology governs relations between states and their
foreign policy decisionmaking. The paranoid tendencies of Marxist-Leninist
regimes are especially pronounced in the first generation of revolutionary
leaders and, as Mr. Morris correctly states, "are clearly manifested in their
domestic politics." They rule by permanent surveillance, intervene into the
private lives of individuals and establish an elaborate politicized police
system to eliminate so-called "reactionaries," the enemies of the state.
Mr. Morris has mined a treasure of information from the archives of the
Communist Party of the former Soviet Union to write his book. Indeed, he
is the only western scholar specializing in Southeast Asian affairs to
have done so.
Mr. Morris's book is indeed an important contribution to the understanding of
foreign policies subject to revolutionary ideologies. But not to realism, the
dominant theory of international relations.
Mr. Perlmutter is a professor of political science and sociology at American
University"
