This paper examines the relevance of rational choice to the Chinese Communist revolution. Drawing on the extensive China literature, it outlines the context for and gives a chronological overview of the Chinese revolution. The rational choice approach is applicable in many but not all regards. The Chinese case demonstrates the importance of developing models of revolution that emphasize probabilistic outcomes, allow for heterogeneity of agents, give a central place to public ?nance, analyse the behaviour of the revolutionary group, and examine the uniqueness and stability of equilibria.
