THE INTERACTION BETWEEN ETHNIC RELATIONS AND STATE POWER: A STRUCTURAL IMPEDIMENT TO THE INDUSTRIALIZATION OF CHINA, 1850-1911 by WEI LI Under the Direction of Toshi Kii ABSTRACT The case of late Qing China is of great importance to theories of economic development. This study examines the question of why China’s industrialization was slow between 1865 and 1895 as compared to contemporary Japan’s. Industrialization is measured on four dimensions: sea transport, railway, communications, and the cotton textile industry. I trace the difference between China’s and Japan’s industrialization to government leadership, which includes three aspects: direct governmental investment, government policies at the macro-level, and specific measures and actions to assist selected companies and industries.

  • Southeast Asia Program
    SOUTHEAST ASIA PROGRAM FALL • 1994 BULLETIN • 0 ,., SEAP ARCHIVE COPY ' DO NOT REMOVE FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, This has been a year of many changes in the Southeast Asia Program, some of them sad and others happy. First, the news that is both sad and happy. Randolph Barker's term as director came to an end, and I was elected to take his place as director. At the same time that Randy stepped down, Helen Swank retired. Many of us think of her affectionately as an institution coterminous with the Southeast Asia Program, and after thirty-three years it is hard to conceive of the office without her. Her place was taken by Nancy Stage. Nancy brings back home to Ithaca a range of experience in fund-raising and development from her previous work in Colorado. Helen is a hard act to follow, but Nancy's intelligence and sparkle keep the office an exciting and pleasant place to work or visit. We also had some losses among our faculty. We are sad to announce the passing of two of our most beloved colleagues, Lauriston Sharp and Milton Barnett. Both Lauri and Milt were active in the Southeast Asia Program until a short time before their deaths. Their careers and contributions to SEAP are outlined in the following pages. To honor Lauri, in 1975 we established the Lauriston Sharp Prize for the most outstanding thesis in Southeast Asian studies at Cornell. Winners of this prize have become top scholars in their fields and are active in universities throughout the country.

  • Naval Warfare and the Refraction of China's Self-Strengthening Reforms
    Modern Asian Studies 38, 2 (2004), pp. 283–326. 2004 Cambridge University Press DOI:10.1017/S0026749X04001088 Printed in the United Kingdom Naval Warfare and the Refraction of China’s Self-Strengthening Reforms into Scientific and Technological Failure, 1865–18951 BENJAMIN A. ELMAN Princeton University In the 1950s and 1960s, Chinese, Western, and Japanese scholarship debated the success or failure of the government schools and regional arsenals established between 1865 and 1895 to reform Qing China (1644–1911). For example, Quan Hansheng contended in 1954 that the Qing failure to industrialize after the Taiping Rebellion (1850–64) was the major reason why China lacked modern weapons during the Sino-Japanese War.2 This position has been built on in recent reassessments of the ‘Foreign Affairs Movement’ (Yangwu yundong) and Sino-Japanese War of 1894–95 ( Jiawu zhanzheng) by Chinese scholars. They argue, with some dissent, that the inadequacies of the late Qing Chinese navy and army were due to poor armaments, insufficient training, lack of leadership, vested interests, lack of funding, and low morale. In aggregate, these factors are thought to demonstrate the inadequacies of the ‘Self- Strengthening era’ and its industrial programs.3 1 An earlier version was presented at the conference ‘The Disunity of Chinese Science,’ organized by Roger Hart (University of Texas, Austin), sponsored by the History of Science Program at the University of Chicago, May 10–12, 2002.My thanks to an anonymous reader who suggested parts to expand and who also dir- ected me to important recent work on the topic. 2 Quan Hansheng, ‘Jiawu zhanzhen yiqian de Zhongguo gongyehua yundong,’ Lishi yuyan yanjiusuo jikan 25, 1 (1954): 77–8.
