Global China as Method


Ivan Franceschini, Nicholas Loubere

4.67
3 ratings1 review
Is China part of the world? Based on much of the political, media, and popular discourse in the West the answer is seemingly no. Even after four decades of integration into the global socioeconomic system, discussions of China continue to be underpinned by a core that the country represents a fundamentally different 'other' that somehow exists outside the 'real' world. Either implicitly or explicitly, China is generally depicted as an external force with the potential to impact on the 'normal' functioning of things. This core assumption, of China as an orientalised, externalised, and separate 'other', ultimately produces a distorted image of both China and the world. This Element seeks to illuminate the ways in which the country and people form an integral part of the global capitalist system. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

While this is a book about a method for studing China on the global stage, it is still a book I'd recommend to most people looking to understand China better, researcher or not.
We need to understand that China is not essentially different or excused from responsibility. It is a country intertwined in global capitalistic mechanisms and is an active part in developing trends today.
China is not inherently different and detached from the world and its happenings, its very much an active participant. We need to understand this.
