The significance of Sun Yat-sen's political thought has rarely been appreciated though he is hailed as the Father of Modern China. This is the first extended treatment of the subject, which will be invaluable to sinologists and historians of political thought. Dr Wells first traces the development of Sun's revolutionary ideas from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. She then considers the impact of Sun's political thought on Chinese revolutionary leaders and on Third World countries, arguing that it has been considerable. This subject has never before been so widely explored.
This volume focuses on Sun Yat-sen's social, political, and economic ideas as seen in his major work, The Three Principles of the People, which discusses nationalism, democracy, and people's welfare, examining his doctrines as well as a his ideas with other contemporary ideologies.
Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger's 'The Political Doctrines of Sun Yat-sen: An Exposition of the San Min Chu I' is a seminal work that delves into the political ideologies of the prominent Chinese leader, Sun Yat-sen. Linebarger provides a detailed analysis of Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People, known as San Min Chu I, and how they influenced China's political landscape. The book is written in a scholarly and informative style, making it a valuable resource for those interested in Chinese political history and ideology. Linebarger's thorough examination of Sun Yat-sen's doctrines sheds light on their significance and relevance in modern times. Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger, also known by his pseudonym Cordwainer Smith, was a political scientist and East Asia expert with firsthand experience in China. His deep understanding of Chinese culture and politics informs his analysis of Sun Yat-sen's political doctrines. Linebarger's research and expertise make 'The Political Doctrines of Sun Yat-sen' a comprehensive and insightful study. I highly recommend 'The Political Doctrines of Sun Yat-sen' to readers interested in Chinese history, political theory, and the influence of Sun Yat-sen on modern China. Linebarger's meticulous research and scholarly approach make this book a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Chinese politics.
This book is prepared primarily for students who are interested in studying the constitutional development and government structure of twentieth-century China. Since the emergence of the Chinese consti tutional movement at the end of the nineteenth century, political institutions in China have undergone constant changes. The first four chapters treat of constitutional development and government systems from the latter part of the Ch'ing dynasty to the re-unification of China by the Nationalist Party in 1928. The other eight chapters deal with the policies, programs, and institutions of the Nationalist and Commu nist governments up to 1962. While treatises on various subjects have been consulted, the sources of this book are chiefly based on the official documents from the collections as indicated in the bibliography. Materials in the first few chapters are partly drawn from my previous works on government and politics in China. Because of the immense scope of the subject and the intricacy of the problems involved, this work is not intended to be exhaustive, but is rather a brief description and discussion of each topic under consideration. As there are many valuable works on China in general as well as on her history and inter national relations, I have tried not to cover what has already been dealt with by others. In my presentation of facts and views, I have endeavored to be as objective as possible, personal political convictions notwithstanding.
This book provides a comprehensive history of the emergence and the formation of the concept of sovereignty in China from the year 1840 to the present. It contributes to broadening the history of modern China by looking at the way the notion of sovereignty was gradually articulated by key Chinese intellectuals, diplomats and political figures in the unfolding of the history of international law in China, rehabilitates Chinese agency, and shows how China challenged Western Eurocentric assumptions about the progress of international law. It puts the history of international law in a global perspective, interrogating the widely-held belief of international law as universal order and exploring the ways in which its history is closely anchored to a European experience that fails to take into account how the encounter with other non-European realities has influenced its formation.
