  • Showcasing the Chinese Version of Moderni-Tea in Africa: Tea Plantations and PRC Economic Aid to Guinea and Mali During the 1960S
    W O R K I N G P A P E R # 80 Showcasing the Chinese Version of Moderni-tea in Africa: Tea Plantations and PRC Economic Aid to Guinea and Mali during the 1960s By Gregg Brazinsky, July 2016 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann, Series Editor This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources on “the other side” of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. The project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former “Communist bloc” with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history. Among the activities undertaken by the project to promote this aim are a periodic BULLETIN to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for young historians from the former Communist bloc to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars; and publications.

  • China's Afrika Beleid
    China in Afrika: ontwikkelingsland of grootmacht Een neoklassieke analyse van het Afrikabeleid van China tussen 1978-2002 - Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen - Masterthesis Politicologie Internationale Betrekkingen Nijmegen, 27 maart 2013 Ramona Schmetter, 3023249 Begeleider: Dr. Anna van der Vleuten Tweede lezer: Prof. Dr. Bertjan Verbeek Abstract China’s presence on the African continent goes back to the ancient times. China supported African countries during the Cold War mainly on a bilateral basis. In 2000, with the establishment of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), the character of the cooperation between China and African countries changed rapidly to a more multilateral kind. It is not clear what explains the shift from bilateral connections to extended multilateral cooperation. In this masterthesis I tried to offer an explanation for this change in Chinese foreign policy behaviour with the help of the neoclassical realist theory. China’s relative power has increased in the last two decades and while the perception of the China’s foreign policy executive (FPE) changed positively, other internal factors like the power position of the FPE remained relatively unchanged. In fact, this shows some anomalies for the expectations of neoclassical realism. Trefwoorden: Africa, China, foreign policy, Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), neoclassical realism. 2 Voorwoord in het Duits Ich bin keine Frau großer Worte, vorallem nicht schriftlich oder in einer fremden Sprache.

  • The History of the History of the Yi, Part II
    MODERNHarrell, Li CHINA/ HISTORY / JULY OF 2003THE YI, PART II REVIEW10.1177/0097700403253359 Review Essay The History of the History of the Yi, Part II STEVAN HARRELL LI YONGXIANG University of Washington MINORITY ETHNIC CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE 1980S AND 1990S The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is, according to its constitution, “a unified country of diverse nationalities” (tongyide duominzu guojia; see Wang Guodong, 1982: 9). The degree to which this admirable political ideal has actually been respected has varied throughout the history of the PRC: taken seriously in the early and mid-1950s, it was systematically ignored dur- ing the twenty years of High Socialism from the late 1950s to the early 1980s and then revived again with the Opening and Reform policies of the past two decades (Heberer, 1989: 23-29). The presence of minority “autonomous” ter- ritories, preferential policies in school admissions, and birth quotas (Sautman, 1998) and the extraordinary emphasis on developing “socialist” versions of minority visual and performing arts (Litzinger, 2000; Schein, 2000; Oakes, 1998) all testify to serious attention to multinationalism in the cultural and administrative realms, even if minority culture is promoted in a homogenized socialist version and even if everybody knows that “autono- mous” territories are far less autonomous, for example, than an American state or a Swiss canton. But although the party state now preaches multinationalism and allows limited expression of ethnonational autonomy, it also preaches and promotes progress—and thus runs straight into a paradox: progress is defined in objectivist, modernist terms, which relegate minority cultures to a more MODERN CHINA, Vol.

  • Bioarcheology of China
    Chapter 3 Bioarchaeology of China: Bridging Biological and Archaeological Inquiries Elizabeth Berger and Kate Pechenkina In China, anthropology (人类学 renleixue, literally “study of humanity”) is primar- ily used to refer to physical anthropology. Biological or physical anthropology is firmly situated within the biological disciplines, whereas archaeology is tradition- ally hosted by history departments. Consequent differences in research interests and approaches between archaeologists and biological anthropologists have influenced the development of the field. Research on archaeological human skeletons, and anthropology as a whole, in China can be divided into three historical phases: (1) the late 1800s to 1949, the formative period, when anthropology in China was practiced as a holistic discipline and biological anthropology research was dominated by comparative morphomet- rics, population history, and paleoanthropology; (2) 1949 to the early 1980s, when “anthropology” referred almost exclusively to physical anthropology, and morpho- metrics and paleoanthropology were independent of archaeology; and (3) the 1980s until today, when cultural anthropology has experienced a renewal and bioarchaeol- ogy has come to integrate the skeletal and archaeological records (Zhang 2012; Zhu 2004; Hu 2006; Guldin 1994). In its early years (before 1949), Chinese anthropology was in close communica- tion with American, British, and European scholarship. However, it also draws from a long tradition of Chinese historiography, antiquarianism, and medical stud- ies and has undergone more than 100 years of development within China to become a discipline with its own research foci and disciplinary boundaries (Guldin 1994; Hu 2006).

  • 1 Building a Dam for China in the Three Gorges Region, 1919-1971
    Building a Dam for China In the Three Gorges Region, 1919-1971 Covell F. Meyskens In the early twentieth century, Chinese leaders began to contemplate building a large dam on the Yangzi River that would generate electricity, boost river transport, and end its history of floods. They paid particular attention to the Three Gorges region, where the river ended its descent from the Sichuan Basin into Hubei province’s Jianghan Plain. This chapter examines Chinese efforts to construct a dam near the Three Gorges between 1919 and 1971. It concentrates on this block of time, because the first dam proposal appeared in 1919, and the Gezhouba Dam became that place in 1971. Past scholarship has overlooked this period and focused on the building of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) in the 1990s (Dai, 1998). I take a different tack and trace the Chinese government’s aspiration to make a TGD to a new understanding of technology’s power precipitated by Western imperialist pressures in the mid-nineteenth century. Prior to Western imperialism’s arrival, elites in China did not take the rapid expansion of technological power as a primary economic goal (Wong, 1997; Elvin, 1973). This changed when Western imperialists and their scion – Meiji Japan – used technological strength to assert influence over East Asia. In response, elites in China embraced the Western notion that technological self-strengthening was central to a country’s economy and that its territory was a repository of resources useful for industrialization (Halsey, 2015; Wu, 2015; Pietz, 2014). After laying this historical groundwork, the chapter highlights three defining features of Chinese efforts to erect the TGD.
