Empire and Environment in the Making of Manchuria
Author: Norman Smith
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788776942335
Category : Geopolitics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This unique and compelling analysis of Manchuria's environmental history demonstrates how the region's geography has shaped China's past. Since the 17th century, the call of the Manchurian wilderness, with its abundant wildlife, timber and mining deposits, has led several empires to do battle for its riches. Chinese, Japanese, Manchu, Russian and other imperial forces have defied unrelenting summers and unforgiving winters as they fought for sovereignty over this vast 'frontier'.0Going beyond the traditional focus on rivalries between Manchuria's colonizing forces, the volume examines the interplay of climate and competing imperial interests in the region's vibrant - and violent - cultural narrative. Families that settled this borderland reaped its riches while at the mercy of an unforgiving and hotly contested landscape.0The volume also explores the role of Manchuria in China's social and political evolution, offering an understanding of how the geopolitical future of this global economic power is rooted in its past.

Thoughts on Economic Development in China
Author: Ma Ying
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135075905
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
This book is about mutual influences of thinking about economic development in China and in the West, from the 18th century until the present. Its chapters are contributed by development economists and historians of thought from China and other parts of the world. The book describes important stages in the evolution, cross-fertilization and contextual modification of ideas about economic order, development and institutional change. It illustrates how Western concepts and theories have been adopted and adapted to Chinese conditions in different waves of modernization from the late 19th century until the present and that this was and is no one-way traffic. The book examines to what extent pre-classical thinking in the West, in particular French Physiocracy in mid-18th century, was influenced by China as an ideal and a source of ideas, at a time when China was the largest and most advanced economy in the world. It discusses to what extent different approaches of modern Western-style economics, in particular in the fields of development economics and institutional economics, can be used to understand the rapid transitions and developments of the Chinese economy in recent decades, and to what extent they need to be modified in the light of new experiences and insights. Against this background, several contributions to the volume provide assessments of the current state of economic science and teaching in China, in particular with regard to Chinese views on Western economics. The book should be of interest to those who are interested in the economic history of China.

War and Geopolitics in Interwar Manchuria
Author: Chi Man Kwong
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900434084X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
In War and Geopolitics in Interwar Manchuria Kwong Chi Man revisits the civil wars in China (1925-1928) from the perspective of the often-overlooked "warlords," who fought against the joint forces of the Nationalist and Communist parties. In particular, this work focuses on Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the "Fengian Clique" who was sometimes seen as the representative of the Japanese interest in Manchuria. Using primary and secondary sources from China, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, this work tries to revisit the wars during the period from international, political, military, and economic-financial perspectives. It sheds new light on Zhang Zuolin's decision to fight against the Nationalists and the Communists and offers an alternative explanation to the Nationalists (temporary) victory by revealing the central importance of geopolitics in the civil wars in China during the interwar period.
