The Global and Regional in Chinas Nation-Formation
Chinas history tends to be studied from a national perspective only. The Global and Regional in Chinas Nation-Formation attempts to train our eyes to see the picture of China less as a self-contained entity, a geobody, than as part of a broader set of global and regional processesfrom the outside-in. It covers the major historical problems of China in the twentieth century: imperialism, nationalism, state-building, religion and the role of history.
is a comparative section, examining how global processes become unique developments in China.
The Global and Regional in Chinas Nation-Formation is an ideal resource for anyone studying Chinas history, society and culture.

- Each volume aims to capture the heartbeat of the contemporary city from multiple perspectives emblematic of the authors own deep familiarity with the distinctive faces of the city, its history, society, culture, politics and economics, and its evolving position in national, regional and global frameworks. While most volumes emphasize urban developments since the Second World War, some pay close attention to the legacy of the longue dure in shaping the contemporary. Thematic and comparative volumes address such themes as urbanization, economic and financial linkages, architecture and space, wealth and power, gendered relationships, planning and anarchy, and ethnographies in national and regional perspective.
