Empire and Environment in the Making of Manchuria

Empire and Environment in the Making of Manchuria
内容简介:

For centuries, some of the world's largest empires fought for sovereignty over the resources of Northeast Asia. This compelling analysis of the region's environmental history examines the interplay of climate and competing imperial interests in a vibrant - and violent - cultural narrative. Families that settled this borderland reaped its riches while at the mercy of an unforgiving and hotly contested landscape. As China's strength as a world leader continues to grow, this volume invites exploration of the indelible links between empire and environment - and shows how the geopolitical future of this global economic powerhouse is rooted in its past.

    不错的论文集,从帝国史和环境史两个角度入手研究中国东北地区。就至少英文学界的情况来看,清代东北的研究较为稀少,聚焦于日俄帝国主义在东北的研究更多,这本论文集也反映了这个特点。
