Education and Society in Late Imperial China, 1600-1900
Territorial Order and Collective-Identity Tensions in Confucian Asia: China, Vietnam, Korea
Vietnamese often celebrated their collective identity by trying to dilute the rigors of Confucian hierarchy rather than tightening them as in Korea. The idealized importance of the political center to the Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese sense of collective identity was consolidated by the fact that all three societies were governed by a scholar elite with a particular type of historical consciousness. In both China and Vietnam, the chief factor o…

The Ch'ien-lung Reign
Ch'ien-lung was, first of all, the emperor who finally ended independent nomad power in central Asia, with his defeat of the Dzungars in the 1750s. The instability of the Ch'ien-lung court, as it appeared to shrewd Chinese officials by looking back after the emperor Ch'ien-lung's death, had to do with the ethnic elements in the monarchy's double identity. This chapter describes Ch'ien-lung's five wars in Sinkiang and Tibet, and the postwar politi…
The Cambridge History of China
This volume of the Cambridge History of China considers the political, military, social, and economic developments of the Ch'ing empire to 1800. The period begins with the end of the resurgent Ming dynasty, covered in volumes 7 and 8, and ends with the beginning of the collapse of the imperial system in the nineteenth century, described in volume 10. Taken together, the ten chapters elucidate the complexities of the dynamic interactions between e…

Reconciling the Chinese and Western Theory Worlds in an Era of Western Development Fatigue (A Comment)
Not very long ago, the Fudan University Economics Institute and the Shanghai bonds and securities journal jointly held a conference on the development of Chinese economics, to which eminent Beijing economic thinkers such as Yu Guangyuan also came. One of the conference's topics was whether Western economics theory could be applied to China at all. All schools of Western economics, including the Marxist ones, seemed preoccupied after all with the …
Nguyen Cochinchina: Southern Vietnam in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
In this historical reassessment of southern Vietnam and its distinct culture, Li Tana illuminates the resourceful qualities of the Dong Trong pioneers, develops a meticulous analysis of the Nguyen trade and taxation systems, and, in the process, redefines the chief cause of the Tay Son rebellion. Li Tana's study focuses on the socio-economics of Nguyen Cochinchina, such as: the role of foreign merchants, the region's trading economy, demographic …
The Relationship between Political Theory and Economic Growth in Vietnam, 1750–1840
In the preface to his classic work about political arguments for capitalism before capitalism triumphed in early modern Europe, Albert Hirschman wrote that his essay had its origin ‘in the incapacity of contemporary social science to shed light on the political consequences of economic growth.’ 2 If this is true for the history of Europe, how much more true must it be for Southeast Asia before 1840? These keywords were added by machine and not by…

History, Structure, and Revolution in Vietnam
The singularity of the Vietnamese revolution cannot be explained entirely by factors such as a racially discriminating colonialism or oppressive landlordism. These factors are to be found in many Asian and African countries which did not produce a Ho Chi Minh or a Vo Nguyen Giap. Vietnam's Confucian past is critically important. It was distinguished by (1) an incompletely centralized monarchy which generated both political and moral expectations …

The Triumphs and Failures of Mass Education in Vietnam
THE EDUCATIONAL REVOLUTION which Vietnamese communist leaders have promoted in their country in the past half-century is poorly known in the West; so poorly known, that it is well to begin its historical study not with a master interpretation but with a tour of as many of its important themes as possible. In public, Vietnam's MarxistLeninist leaders clearly believe that the differences among national economies and national educational systems are…

Ideology and Integration in Post-Colonial Vietnamese Nationalism
BY THE STANDARDs of the other Indochina countries, the rate of the development of revolution in modern Vietnam and the growth of a selfconscious nationalism in Vietnamese society were relatively rapid. The Vietnamese intelligentsia, because of its long immersion in the East Asian classical world, had greater early access to the formulas of nationalism and revolution that flooded China after I895. The French economic and cultural penetration of Vi…

Nationalism and Poverty in the Breakdown of Sino-Vietnamese Relations
IN THEIR RELATIONS with each other since the second Indochina War ended in 1975, both China and Vietnam have suffered complete foreign policy disasters. Neither country can gain from the most recent crisis in Sino-Vietnamese relations. Vietnam in particular, even with the most lavish self-interested Soviet aid, quite lacks the means to sustain a long-term enmity with China and to industrialize itself successfully at the same time. Since neither s…
The Development of Social Organizations in Vietnamese Cities in the Late Colonial Period
R APID URBANIZATION iS one of the more celebrated phenomena of the history of modern Southeast Asia, and Vietnam has not escaped it. In 1931, it is true, the population of Saigon, the largest city, was considered to be only approximately 120,000 people (about 76,ooo Vietnamese, 34,000 Chinese, and 10,000 Europeans and others), as opposed to its more than three million people in 1970. Yet even in the colonial period, considerable social differenti…

No single diplomatic relationship in the world has a longer historical tradition behind it than that between the current Chinese and North Vietnamese states. One Chinese anthropologist has even speculated that the word viet of Vietnam, originally meaning halberd or spear, may have stood for the name of a people resident in China about thirty-five centuries ago.1 At least it is certain that two thousand years ago, while Julius Caesar and his succe…

Politics and education, after all, intermingled far more intimately in Chinese and Vietnamese history than they did in most pre-modern Western history, sometimes producing an artful, self-conscious burea…
