Top Dog, Top Down: An analysis of Mao Zedong's role in the Cultural Revolution. As this paper will demonstrate, Zhou, and those he was allowed to influence, in fact controlled a great deal of the decision-making that went on during the Revolution, particularly that involving foreign affairs. This fact weakens the argument that the Revolution was purely a top down movement, and demands that we consider it as, to use a somewhat awkward expression, something more of a top and near-top down movement. 11 pgs. 11 f/c. 6b.
