Based mainly on Russian and Chinese archival sources that have become available only since the early 1990s, the authors of this collection explore the main aspects of the Chinese Revolution in the crucial period of the 1920s, such as the United Front policy, the development of communism, the Guomindang perspective, institutional issues and social movements. The various approaches and interpretative methods employed by the contributors from seven countries have resulted in a collection of articles representing four very different and until now almost independent discourses: the European, the American, the Chinese, and the Russian.

This book offers research on state and society in Republican China,
exploring various aspects of Republican history from the governance
perspective. Governance is understood in a broader sense as
interactions between state and society, including both the
discursive process of social decision-making and the provision of
(non-)material public goods. The topics highlighted are: the
internationalization of disaster relief, the philanthropic
governance of overseas Chinese in Xiamen, the transformation of the
cultural group "World Society," historical writing, intellectual
autonomy, as well as the construction of warlord identity. (Series:

Networks ranging from village level to transnational level have
always played a crucial role in Chinese society. The contributors
to this volume aim to trace the interaction between various
networks which have existed from the 19th century to the present
day. The articles deal with theoretical concepts, historical
examples, such as non-state responses to the North China Famine
(1876 - 1879), the role of missionaries in the modernization of
China and disaster management, including recent inter-ethnic
business competition in Hong Kong, Han settlers in Xinjiang, temple
festivals in Macau and urban migrants' social networks in today's
China. By drawing on new material and theoretical frameworks, these
studies shed fresh light on the ways in which various forms of
networks have shaped Chinese society, while at the same time
questioning traditional and rigid perspectives of Chinese society
based solely on networks and guanxi.
Deutschland und China sind im Verlauf der vergangenen hundert Jahre
immer wieder in vielfaltige Beziehungen zueinander getreten. Wie
sich diese gestaltet haben und welche welt- und
landesgeschichtlichen Wirkungen davon ausgingen, wird in dieser
sechs Bande umfassenden Quellensammlung fur den Zeitraum 1897 bis
1995 dargestellt. Die Bande sind chronologisch angelegt. Ihre
Aufteilung folgt den von der Geschichte vorgegebenen Zasuren, aber
auch sachlichen Gesichtspunkten. Dem wechselvollen Verlauf der
Geschichte der deutsch-chinesischen Beziehungen entsprechend, sind
die Schwerpunkte in den einzelnen Banden unterschiedlich gesetzt.
Gemeinsam aber ist allen der Versuch, den deutschen Blick auf China
und den chinesischen Blick auf Deutschland, die politischen,
wirtschaftlichen, militarischen und kulturellen Beziehungen als
interkulturelles Geschehen zu dokumentieren. Die Mehrzahl des
prasentierten Quellenmaterials deutscher und chinesischer Herkunft
wird hier erstmals publiziert. Nahezu alle chinesischen Dokumente
werden zum ersten Mal in einer deutschen UEbersetzung vorgelegt.
