Delegated power: rise and fall of the "tusi" in Southwest China during the late imperial period (09)

元朝在西南边疆地区合并后，中央政府面临着对这些新省份的统治模式问题。间接控制的制度开始形成，这意味着朝廷确认地方统治者，并授予他们官爵，以使他们融入政治体系。Ralph Kauz教授指导的子项目09旨在分析这一体系中精英统治的理论问题，如招募和选拔机制，这些地方官员在云南省从元朝到清朝的代表模式。

After the incorporation of frontier areas in the Southwest of the Chinese Empire during the Yuan dynasty, the central government faced the problem of the mode of rule in these new provinces. A system of indirect control was inaugurated, which meant that the imperial court confirmed the local rulers and granted them official titles in order to integrate them into the political system. The subproject 09 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ralph Kauz aims to analyze the theoretical problems of elite rule in this system, such as mechanisms of recruitment and selection, modes of representation of these local officials in the province of Yunnan from the Yuan through the Qing dynasty.
