Opis

This book is intended to provide the narratives and analytics of China's spatial (dis)integration. Indeed, the Chinese nation is far too large and spatially complicated and diversified to be misinterpreted. The only feasible approach to analyzing it is, therefore, to divide it into smaller geographical elements through which one can have a better insight into the spatial mechanisms and regional characteristics.

• Provides a combination of narratives and analytical narratives
• Includes annexes which evaluate provincial and interprovincial panel data and information collected and compiled by the author
• Offers specialized mathematics and statistical techniques

Recenzje

"Guo concludes that ethnic integration and mixing is not necessarily a good thing for China, especially between two population groups evincing such dramatic linguistic, religious, and cultural differences." --Public Affairs
