Competing Nationalisms in China?s Borderlands - State Integration, Ethnic Separatism and Foreign Involvement

This book endeavors to provide a balanced analytical treatment of ethnic nationalists, state leaders, and foreign intervenors in China''s frontier politics, explaining systematically the circumstances of their entanglements, and traces in detail the underlying and lasting causes and effects of their association-from the closing years of the last Chinese imperial dynasty in the late nineteenth century to the present day.
