Presenting an analysis of the tension between nationalism and
globalization in China since the beginning of the 'reform and
opening' period in the late 1970s to the present day, this book
makes a unique contribution to the on-going debate on the nature of
Chinese nationalism. It shows how nationalism is used to link
together key areas of policy-making, including economic policy,
national unification and foreign policy. Hughes provides historical
context to the debate by examining how nationalism became
incorporated into the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party in
the 1980s and the ways in which this strengthened and combined with
globalization discourse through the domestic crisis of the
Tiananmen Massacre and the external shock of the Cold War's
conclusion. The different perspectives towards this resulting
orthodoxy are discussed, including those of the state and dissent
in mainland China and the alternative views from Taiwan and Hong
Kong. Based on Chinese sources throughout, this book offers a
systematic treatment of Chinese nationalism, providing conceptual
insights that allow the reader to grasp the complex weave of
Chinese nationalist sentiment today and its implications for the
future.
