OverviewFrom the time of China’s defeat in the Sino-Japanese war of 1894–95 until the 1930s, the assumption that China was a “weak state” dominated political discourse in China and beyond. In those discussions, China was seen as lacking competitiveness in a world that was increasingly being understood in harsh Darwinian terms. Aiming to better understand contemporary China’s self-image and identity, this volume traces both the emergence of the narrative of China’s alleged “national ruin” and the discursive construction of China as the “Sick Man of East Asia.” Full Product DetailsAuthor: Iwo Amelung , Sebastian RieboldPublisher: Campus Verlag Imprint: Campus Verlag Dimensions: Width: 14.00cm , Height: 4.10cm , Length: 21.60cm ISBN: 9783593509020ISBN 10: 3593509024 Pages: 586 Publication Date: 02 March 2021 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
