Routledge Nationalism, National Identity and Democratization in China

Explore the complex connection between nationalism, national identity, and the state in this scholarly text from Routledge Revivals. Originally published in 2000, this book provides a clear look at how Chinese national identity impacts the direction of China's transition and the prospects for democratization. Rather than viewing Chinese nationalism as a single, uniform force, the text examines the diverse nature of these movements. It analyzes the rise of nationalist discourse and how the question of national identity affects the country's political path. This work is an essential resource for those studying the social sciences, anthropology, and the changing political landscape of China. By examining the relationship between the state and popular nationalism, readers gain a deeper understanding of the trends shaping the nation's future.
