The overall objective of this volume is to revisit gender as a concept that can engage simultaneously with change and continuity in today's Asia, but with greater intellectual reflexivity to examine multiple, intersecting, and complex dimensions of identity and difference, and formerly unacknowledged sources of social power from institutions and their emerging discourses. Individual chapters, written by gender scholars from Europe and Asia, critically examine the concept of gender in the context of emerging development issues relating to four broad thematic areas: 'Gender over Time', 'Power, Policy and Practices', 'Environment and Resources', and 'Justice and Human Rights'. In so doing, they also address how gender has been changed, both as a normative process influencing social roles and relations and as an object and/or a concept of research.

Free markets alone do not work effectively to solve certain kinds of human problems, such as education, old age care, or disaster relief. Nor have markets ever been the sole solution to the psychological challenges of death, suffering, or injustice. Instead, we find a major role for the non-market institutions of society - the family, the state, and social institutions. The first in-depth anthropological study of charities in contemporary Chinese societies, this book focuses on the unique ways that religious groups have helped to solve the problems of social well-being. Using comparative case studies in China, Taiwan and Malaysia during the 1980s and onwards, it identifies new forms of religious philanthropy as well as new ideas of social 'good', including different forms of political merit-making, new forms of civic selfhood, and the rise of innovative social forms, including increased leadership by women. The book finally argues that the spread of these ideas is an incomplete process, with many alternative notions of goodness continuing to be influential.

The twentieth century has been a century of nationalism in China, beginning with the nationalist revolution of 1911. Drawing on the explosion of writings about nationalism in the Chinese speaking world, this new book highlights the main themes of the Chinese nationalist tradition and shows how they are central to the discourse of Chinese politics and foreign policy today. The study analyzes trends within Chinese nationalism, explaining the principles behind contemporary debates as they have unfolded since the late 1980s. Presenting a number of perspectives including those of the state and dissent in mainland China, as well as alternative views from Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Chinese diaspora, Hughes sets current discussions within the context of the long history of Chinese nationalism. One of the first systematic treatments of Chinese nationalism in the 1990s, the book provides conceptual insights allowing the reader to grasp the complex weave of Chinese nationalist sentiment today and implications for the future.
