Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First edition. First printing [stated]. xv, 551 pages. Chronology. Maps. Bibliography. Notes on the Authors. Index. Name of previous owner present. Gilbert Rozman is a Senior Fellow with Foreign Policy Research Institute's Asia Program and the editor-in-chief of The Asan Forum, a bi-monthly journal on international relations in the Asia-Pacific region. He is also the Emeritus Musgrave Professor of Sociology at Princeton University, where he spent 43 years on the faculty. He specializes on Northeast Asia, including China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea. His research has examined bilateral relations and mutual perceptions, national identities, strategic thinking, strategies for regionalism, and historical factors affecting policy choices. Rozman has repeatedly turned to Sino-Russian, Russo-Japanese, Sino-Korean, Japanese-Korean, and Sino-Japanese relations, as they have evolved. In doing so, he has concentrated on sources in these countries that help to understand the causes of problematic relations. In The Asan Forum, he writes Washington Insights, reporting on events in DC that shed light on ongoing policy deliberations and proposals. In the Modernization of China, an interdisciplinary team of scholars collaborate closely to provide the first systematic, integrated analysis of China in transformation--from an agrarian-based to an urbanized and industrialized society. Moving from the legacy of the Ming and Ch'ing dynasties to the reforms and revolutions of the 20th century, the authors seek reasons for China's inability to achieve rapid, steady growth during a 200 year-long struggle to modernize. They examine the changing shape of Chinese society: the role of the state in politics; military affairs; economics; the educational system; changes in family; population, and settlement patterns; science and technology; world views and foreign relations. They make comparisons between China's experience with growth and that of two other latecomers to modernization, Japan and Russia. This is a book that brings much-needed clarity and perspective to our understanding of China, and the way a great civilization attempts to meet the challenge of modernity. Seller Inventory # 58292
