The Making of the Modern Chinese State: 16001950 offers an historical analysis of the formation of the modern Chinese state from the seventeenth century to the midtwentieth centuries, providing refreshing and provocative interpretations on almost every major issue regarding the rise of modern China.This book explores the question of why todays China is unlike any other nationstate in size and structure. It inquires into the reasons behind the striking continuity in China's territorial and ethnic compositions over the past centuries, and explicates the genesis and tenacity of the Chinese state as a highly centralized and unified regime that has been able to survive into the twentyfirst century. Its analysis centres on three key variables, namely geopolitical strategy, fiscal constitution, and identity building, and it demonstrates how they worked together to shape the outcome of state transformation in modern China.Enhanced by a selection of informative tables and illustrations, The Making of the Modern Chinese State: 16001950 is ideal for undergraduates and graduates studying East Asian history, Chinese history, empires in Asia, and state formation.
