Modern China in Flux: New Book Out!
We are pleased to announce the open-access publication of the collective volume Modern China in Flux: Networks, Mobility, and Transformation (De Gruyter). This book explores Chinese society through the notion of networks—as a concept, a social reality, and a method—in order to reveal its complexity and fluidity during a pivotal period, from the late Qing dynasty to the early People’s Republic.
The volume originates from an international workshop co-organized by the Elites, Networks, and Power in Modern China (ENP-China) project and the Institute of Modern History at Academia Sinica. It brings together contributions from European and Taiwanese scholars, covering topics such as business networks, technocrats, women, Taiwanese elites, Chinese students in Belgium, and Sino-American alumni networks.
The book is available in open access—feel free to explore and share it! The print version will be available on March 3.
Happy reading!
