First of all, a primary difference between the two revolutions was that the Chinese Revolution occured much later and lasted much longer than the Russian Revolution. Communism triumphed in China in 1949, 30 years after the Russian Revolution. The Chinese Revolution lasted about 28 years, while the Russian Revolution only lasted about one year. The reason for this difference is because the ideas of Karl Marx (which inspired the movement in Russia) were barely known in China in the early 1900s. In Russia, intellectuals had been discussing socialism for half a century, so when the time came, Vladimir Lenin knew the revolution must happen. It was rapid and successful, so it only lasted a short time. In China, it took a long time for the communist party to build up. The revolution was slower because there was less industrialization and social unrest. Not until the Chinese Communist Party formed were the Marxist strategies practiced.

Another difference is who the activists in each of the revolutions looked to for support. In Russia, the Bolshevik's primary audience was workers in Russia's major cities. Industrialization had been causing major unrest in the cities, which is why the revolutionaries knew it must be them who they appealed to. This unrest, combined with efforts from the Bolsheviks, led to the revolution in 1917. In China, the peasants of the rural countryside took up most of the population. At this time, China's industrial base was much smaller than Russia's so they didn't have as many urban workers. The Guomindang, a nationalist party ruling China at the time, did little to help the rural areas of the country. The Chinese Communist Party impressed the peasants with their military strategies, promised land reform, and empowerment of women.

The Russian and Chinese Revolutions also contrast in their military strategies they used to gain support. In Russia, the Bolsheviks gained support by urging Russian withdrawal from the first World War, which had caused so much damage an unrest from the people. In China, the communist party gained support by aggressively pursuing the struggle against Japanese invaders during World War II. The reason for this difference in unification. The Bolsheviks knew that their targeted supporters would become unified in their effort to withdrawal from World War I, while the Chinese knew that their people would become unified by counter-attacking the Japanese in their invasion and overthrowing the current government (the Guomindang), giving the large peasant population more power and decreasing the poverty.

As citizens grow increasingly wary of whose interests are being represented in the public policy arena, especially in light of recent sensational scandals showing a cozy relationship between professional lobbyists and lawmakers, a crisis of confidence is engulfing many democratic societies across the european and north american continents. public perceptions of undue influence peddling, in which special interest groups exercise too much sway over government for self-serving purposes, have led to growing demands for the regulation of lobbyists and transparency of the policymaking process. the united states and canada have been struggling for decades to refine their systems of lobbyist regulation. of all the shortcomings of the north american model of lobbyist regulation – and there are many – transparency is not, for the most part, one of them. many european countries have also been experimenting with systems of lobbyist regulation. until recently, however, the european national experiments have produced very different results among themselves and in comparison with the north american counterparts. surprisingly, some of the earliest efforts to regulate lobbying occurred among new democratic countries in eastern europe rather than the more advanced industrial democracies of western europe. this observation stands in stark contrast to the north american experience, where lobbyist regulation emerged as an effort to manage a highly developed class of professional lobbyists within the strictures of long-standing democratic principles. the authors find that the answer to this anomaly lies in the fact that early european lobbyist regulations focused not on transparency as a means to regain public confidence in government, but on providing business interests with access to lawmakers as a means to bolster fledgling economies. this focus on access is quickly giving way to demands for transparency as many european governments, racked by scandal, are striving to salvage the public's trust. propelled largely by example from a reluctant european parliament and commission, which are themselves attempting to convince europe that a regional government is in its own interest, several european countries are beginning to make a transition from weak systems of lobbyist regulation, which emphasize business access, to strong systems of lobbyist regulation, which emphasize public transparency. in order to discern ‘best’ practices for achieving transparency through lobbying regulation, the authors first chart the regulatory systems of the united states and canada. that is followed by an analysis of all of the european lobbying regimes. the oft-expressed objection to this new trend toward transparency in europe – that professional lobbyists view such regulations as overly burdensome – is undercut by research on european and american lobbyists’ attitudes toward regulation, which are generally quite favorable. like everyone else, lobbyists realize that they have an image problem and that the best way to address that problem is by operating in the broad daylight of public transparency. finally, the authors offer recommendations on how to enhance transparency in policymaking, drawing from detailed comparisons of the north american and european models of lobbyist regulation.
