Empire to Republic: Politics and Culture in China's 20th Century History

该研究项目主要关注民国时期（1912-1949）中国南方的国家和民族建设，这是CI和PI在十五年的研究合作伙伴关系中主要的国际出版物的主题。这个话题的意义在于它在史学上偏离了《纽约时报》的叙述。党历史吗?对中国近代史形成时期的现代国家和民族建构的关键方面进行理论驱动的研究。成果包括研究培训和论文，以及评审出版物，在系统地将国家制定文献应用于民国历史方面开辟了新的领域。

This research project focuses on state and nation building in South China during the Republican era (1912-1949), the subject of major international publications by the CI and PI over a fifteen-year research partnership. The significance of the topic lies in its historiographical departure from narratives of ?party history? to theoretically-driven research into key aspects of modern state and nation-making in a formative period of China's recent history. Outcomes include research training and theses, and refereed publications, which break new ground in their systematic application of state-making literature to Republican Chinese history.
