China’s Early Industrialization in the Age of the European Colonial Powers: A Controversial Beginning
Orazio Coco
摘要：At the end of the nineteenth century, China presented the characteristics of a stationary economy, rich in resources but weakened by a traditional society and a lack of understanding of economic dynamics. The extraordinary fact was that until the eighteenth century, China was equal to, if not more advanced than, Europe in scientific, technological knowledge and manufacturing processes. Scholars in the second half of the twentieth century underlined that China’s traditional society failed to create endogenous factors that would have encouraged the rise of capitalism and drew attention to ineffective institutions and government policies. More recently, modern scholars have explained that “divergence” was caused by the lack of available commodities. The empire barely stayed ahead of a soaring population and could not cope with the higher demand for natural resources. This article proposes an overview of this debate and examines arguments that are still open to intellectual contribution.

Japan's Colonialism and Wang Jingwei's Neo-Nationalism, 1938–1945
Travis Chambers
摘要：After Japan pragmatized militarism and formed a modernized nation-state in the latter nineteenth century, it extended that same methodology to its East Asian neighbor, China, from 1938 to 1945. This is an intellectual history that comparatively analyzes rhetorical, political, and military exchange between Japan and China. Furthermore, it is a reinterpretation of Pan-Asian exchange during World War Two that utilizes a transnational lens. The Japanese nation formed within a military culture, constant civil war, centered around a martial class. Japanese nationalism juxtaposed that of China, which experienced external threats, consisted of various ethnic groups.
