China Stands Up: The PRC and the International System
ISBN: 9780415402699 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1949 Mao Zedong made the historic proclamation that "the Chinese people have stood up." This statement was significant, undoubtedly reflecting the changing nature not only of China's self-perception, but also of its relationship with the rest of the world. In terms of reducing the imperialist presence of the West and Japan within China, and reasserting China's territorial integrity and legal sovereignty to the outside world, Mao and China can indeed be seen to have successfully 'stood up'. However, the development of China's position in the hitherto Western-dominated international... In 1949 Mao Zedong made the historic proclamation that "the Chinese people have stood up."

China and the International System, 1840-1949: Power, Presence, and Perceptions in a Century of Humiliation
ISBN: 9780791476284 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 371 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As China continues its rapid ascent within the international system, questions of where it came from have particular relevance. Combining history with international relations theory, David Scott considers China's first substantive modern period of encounter with the West from 1840 through 1949, a period characterized as the Century of Humiliation. During this time China fell from Middle Kingdom preeminence to a position in the international system that remained an enigmatic and challenging one: too strong to be taken over as a colony, yet not strong enough to shape its own destiny. At the...

Conscripts of Modernity: The Tragedy of Colonial Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780822334446 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. At this stalled and disillusioned juncture in postcolonial history when many anticolonial utopias have withered into a morass of exhaustion, corruption, and authoritarianism David Scott argues the need to reconceptualize the past in order to reimagine a more usable future. He describes how, prior to independence, anticolonialists narrated the transition from colonialism to postcolonialism as romance as a story of overcoming and vindication, of salvation and redemption. Scott contends that postcolonial scholarship assumes the same trajectory, and that this imposes conceptual limitations. He...
