Prima edizione
Cloth over Boards. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Edward A. McCord's "The Power of the Gun: The Emergence of Modern Chinese Warlordism" offers a detailed study and new interpretation of the rise of warlordism in early 20th-century China. The book argues that warlordism was not simply a continuation of traditional Chinese military practices, but rather a historically contingent phenomenon that emerged from the inability of civilian politicians to agree on constitutional issues in the early Republican era. McCord focuses on the provinces of Hunan and Hubei, demonstrating how the repeated use of military force to resolve political disputes ultimately undermined civil authority and allowed military commanders to establish dominance over the early Republican government. --- Edward A. McCord is a Professor of History and International Affairs at The George Washington University, specializing in Chinese history. He has lived and studied in Taiwan and the People's Republic of China for five years, and his research primarily focuses on the role and impact of the military in modern Chinese society. In addition to "The Power of the Gun," McCord is also the author of "Military Force and Elite Power in the Making of Modern China" and has contributed numerous articles to academic journals such as *Modern China* and *Modern Asian Studies*. --- This work holds significant historical and literary value as it provides a nuanced understanding of a critical period in Chinese history, bridging the narrative between two revolutionary eras. By examining the political interactions between civil and military officials and provincially and nationally centered political agendas, McCord challenges previous hypotheses about the origins of warlordism. Collectors interested in Chinese history, particularly the Republican era and the evolution of military power in the region, would find this book compelling due to its in-depth analysis and fresh perspective on a complex and often misunderstood subject. The book highlights how the militarization of politics empowered military commanders, leading to the fragmented form of military rule that characterized the warlord era. --- CONDITION: This book is in very good condition.

Aggiungi al carrelloTaschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The China we know today emerged at the end of a long period of internal rebellions, civil wars, foreign invasions, and revolutionary insurrections that stretched across the nineteenth century to the mid-point of the twentieth. This book explores one important consequence of this situation-the increased role of military force in the determination of elite social, political, and economic power, and presents fascinating case studies of the warlords, militia leaders, and military officers who benefited from this.Examining the intersection of military force and elite power in the formative years of modern Chinese history, this book highlights just how important military force was to elite power in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century China in a context of frequent warfare and political turmoil. It shows that the way in which military empowerment unfolded and who exactly was empowered, depended heavily on shifting military and political conditions, and each case confirms the extent to which military force emerged as a consistently significant determinant of elite power across this period. Indeed, the transformative effect of military force on social and political structures of power revealed by these studies sheds distinctive light on the prevalence, and wide-ranging impact, of military conflicts in this period. In turn, these studies also provide a particular perspective on the fluid boundaries of, as well as the constraints on, elite power in Chinese society in a time of intense social and political change. This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the rise of modern China, and provides a keen insight into impact of war on the country, as such, it will be welcomed by students and scholars interested in Chinese history, Asian history, and military history more broadly.
