Military Force and Elite Power in the Formation of Modern China
The China we know today emerged at the end of a long period of internal rebellions, civil wars, foreign invasions, and revolutionary insurrections that stretched across the nineteenth century to the mid-point of the twentieth. This book explores one important consequence of this situation—the increased role of military force in the determination of elite social, political, and economic power, and presents fascinating case studies of the warlords,…
Synarchy and the Chinese People: A Plea for Internationalization in Warlord China
In the wake of a major mutiny by warlord forces in 1921 that left much of the Yangzi port city of Yichang in ruins, a group of Chinese citizens appealed to the foreign diplomatic community to turn the city into a foreign concession under foreign protection. In a statement that seems shocking in the context of the burgeoning anti-imperialist sentiment that followed the May 4th incident of 1919, the petitioners concluded that if their wish was gran…
Ethnic Revolt, State-Building and Patriotism in Republican China: The 1937 West Hunan Miao Abolish-Military-Land Resist-Japan Uprising
This paper examines how an ethnic Miao uprising in West Hunan in 1937 became the site for the interaction of a broad range of competing local, provincial, and national interests. The target of the uprising was atuntiansystem formed from confiscated Miao lands in the early nineteenth century to support a military system defending against Miao disturbances. Surviving anachronistically into the twentieth century, the military land rents of this syst…

Cries That Shake the Earth: Military Atrocities and Popular Protests in Warlord China
This article examines a rare instance in China’s warlord period when military officers were actually held accountable for military atrocities. These atrocities occurred in 1920, when retreating Northern troops pillaged and murdered their way through three Hunan counties before being forced to surrender to a Hunan army. A popular outcry immediately arose in Hunan to punish the officers for the crimes of their troops. Responding to this pressure, a…

Local Militia and State Power in Nationalist China
Throughout the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century, the organization of local community defense forces, or militia, was a common Chinese response to periods of civil war, popular rebellion, or social disorder. As such, it is hardly surprising to find an increasing level of militia mobilization leading up to and peaking in the (1927-1937) of Nationalist Party (Guomindang) rule. Precisely because the organization of militia was a…

Warlords against Warlordism: The Politics of Anti-Militarism in Early Twentieth-Century China
In a recent article published in theJournal of Military History, Arthur Waldron noted that war in Chinese history has been 'treated at best as a largely unexamined context'. One has only to look at the cursory treatment given by most textbooks to the incessant civil wars of China's 'warlord' period (usually dated from 1916 to 1926) to see the truth of this statement. In the above article, Waldron seeks to remedy some of this neglect by pointing o…

Militia and Local Militarization in Late Qing and Early Republican China: The Case of Hunan
One of the most striking features of Chinese local society in the early and middle nineteenth century was a process of increasing militarization. Since its publication in 1970, Philip Kuhn's Rebellion and Its Enemies in Late Imperial China has remained the most important, and in fact the only, scholarly guide to this significant historical phenomenon. As described by Kuhn, the militarization of Chinese society at this time was manifested in a num…
