Managing Frontiers in Qing China: The Lifanyuan and Libu Revisited: Brill's Inner Asian Library, cartea 35

Dittmar Schorkowitz, Ning CHIA
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 noi 2016
In Managing Frontiers in Qing China, historians and anthropologists explore China's imperial expansion in Inner Asia, focusing on early Qing empire-building in Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, and beyond – Central Asian perspectives and comparisons to Russia's Asian empire are included. Taking an institutional-historical and historical-anthropological approach, the essays engage with two Qing agencies well-known for their governance of non-Han groups: the Lifanyuan and Libu.
This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the Lifanyuan and Libu, revising and assessing the state of affairs in the under-researched field of these two institutions. The contributors explore the imperial policies towards and the shifting classifications of minority groups in the Qing Empire, explicitly pairing and comparing the Lifanyuan and Libu as in some sense cognate agencies. This text offers insight into how China's past has continued to inform its modern policies, as well as the geopolitical make-up of East Asia and beyond.
Contributors include: Uradyn E. Bulag, Chia Ning, Pamela Kyle Crossley, Nicola DiCosmo, Dorothea Heuschert-Laage, Laura Hostetler, Fabienne Jagou, Mei-hua Lan, Dittmar Schorkowitz, Song Tong, Michael Weiers,Ye Baichuan, Yuan Jian, Zhang Yongjiang.

Recenzii

"This seminal work (...) essential reading for specialists in Inner Asian and Chinese history, as well as for anyone interested in probing into the institutional and operational aspects of frontier management in early modern empires."
Tommaso Previato, Ming Qing Studies (2017)

"This book offers a stimulating overview of recent studies on Qing dynasty's institutions related to managing frontier issues and non-Han peoplse, the Lifanyuan 理藩院 and the Libu 礼部. Since it represents "the first comprehensive study" on Lifanyuan (Di Cosmo, p. viii), it will certainly be warmly welcomed by scholars of the Qing dynasty, but it also offers a World historical comparative perspective, revealing a unique practice of early modern empire building, departing from both Western imperial narratives as well as Chinese political traditions. [...] One finds in these pages a set of very inspirational perspectives that will certainly have lots of impact on future researches on these institutions and on the Qing dynasty in general."
Carl Déry, Université de Montréal, Journal of World History 29/3 (2019)
