Rezensionen

"This volume is more than worthwhile reading...Readers will be challenged, but not disappointed." - Robert B. Marks, Whittier College, Georgia

'China East Asia and the Global Economy is an excellent volume in the spirit of the series' claim to presenting "Critical Asian Scholarship". Hamashita demonstrates how regional history occupies a crucial role in the discussion and definition of global history by questioning whose global perspective is under discussion. Thanks to careful editorial work by Linda Grove and Mark Selden, readers are able to appreciate Hamashita's remarkable scholarly contribution to Chinese and East Asian History as well as to the transformation of economic institutions and processes within regional and global history.' - Elisabeth Koell, Harvard Business School, The China Journal, No. 63
