Abstract

The era between empire and communism is routinely portrayed as a catastrophic interlude in China's modern history, but this engagingly written book shows instead that the first half of the twentieth century witnessed a qualitatively unprecedented trend towards openness.Frank Dikotter argues that the years from 1900 to 1949 were characterised at all levels of society by engagement with the world, and that the pursuit of openness was particularly evident in four areas: in governance and the advance of the rule of law and of newly acquired liberties; in freedom of movement in and out of the count

Abstract

This volume shows that the construction of symbolic boundaries between racial categories has undergone many transformations in China and Japan, but the attempt to rationalize and rank differences between population groups remains widespread.

Abstract

" «Le but du Parti communiste chinois n'a jamais été de rejoindre la sphère démocratique, mais bien de lui résister, puis de la vaincre.» Depuis la mort de Mao, en 1976, la Chine a connu une ascension économique fulgurante. Contrairement à ce que les observateurs occidentaux ont pu croire, ce « miracle » ne s'est pas accompagné d'une démocratisation politique. De manière implacable, le Parti n'a cessé de s'enrichir et d'enraciner sa dictature, assurant le contrôle de ses populations et mettant au point l'un des systèmes de surveillance de masse les plus sophistiqués au monde. En se fondant sur des centaines de documents d'archives inédits - procès-verbaux secrets des réunions du Parti, archives locales ou rapports bancaires confidentiels -, Frank Dikötter analyse les politiques d'importations de technologies, la répression brutale des élans de liberté marqués par les événements de la place Tian'anmen en 1989, le profit que la Chine tire de la crise financière mondiale de 2008 ou encore ses stratégies bellicistes sur la scène internationale. Nous emmenant au coeur des villages les plus reculés comme dans les spectaculaires métropoles industrielles et commerciales, Frank Dikötter raconte une histoire faite d'intrigues politiques et de purges anti-corruption pour dévoiler les ambitions économiques, diplomatiques et militaires du géant asiatique."
