Summary:
This volume bridges the fields of Sinology and China Studies with Global History to explore the development of historical thinking in the Chinese context and China’s global political and intellectual entanglements. The book addresses two key questions: how global historiographical writing developed in China from the late Qing to today, and how Chinese intellectuals and political actors engaged with transnational debates, networks, and encounters. With contributions from emerging and established scholars, the volume offers unique perspectives across Chinese historiography and intellectual history within a global context.
