The International Relations of the Chinese Empire
Bloomsbury Academic
978-1-78453-133-1 (ISBN)
Originally published between 1908 and 1918, this five-volume set offers an unparalleled account of trade and economic life in China in the 19th century from a Western perspective.
The first three volumes analyse the history of China’s relations with the West between 1834 and 1911. Key issues include the increase in foreign control over China and the attempts of the Chinese government to respond, the rise of Japan in Asia, and the final demise of the Qing Empire. Volume 4 (Trade and Administration of China) and Volume 5 (The Gilds of China) provide a first-hand account of the workings of the Chinese economy. Coverage includes the central and provincial government of the Qing Empire, the fiscal position of the Chinese state, international trade, the position of foreigners in China’s economy, opium imports, the Inspectorate of Customs, the railways, and an examination of the guild system that underpinned the organization of commerce in China.
With a new introduction by leading scholar, Michael Dillon, the set is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand economic and political relations between China and the West in the second half of the 19th century.
Hosea Ballou Morse (1855-1934) spent thirty-five years in China working for the Chinese Maritime Customs Service as Commissioner and Statistical Secretary. He held posts in different parts of China, including Shanghai, the centre of western commercial and political influence in China. He was involved in diplomatic negotiations in the Sino-Japanese war, representing both the Qing government and the British in negotiations with the Japanese. He also acted as adviser to the Chinese Delegation to the Economics and Financial Conference of the League of Nations. At the time of his death he was regarded as the major historian of modern China and his work both influenced the following generation of scholars and laid the foundations for China scholarship in the United States. Michael Dillon was Founding Director of the Centre for International Chinese Studies, University of Durham, UK. Professor Dillon is a Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and the author of China: A Modern History.
