The Chinese State at the Borders

Naomi Standen, co-editor of Frontiers in Question: Eurasian Borderlands, 700-1700:
This book is of great importance in helping to reshape our conceptions of "China" as a spatial entity . . . The Chinese State at the Borders makes a highly significant contribution to the surprisingly scanty literature on China’s borders, and extends its reach beyond that through comparative examples.

Bernard Luk, York University and The Hong Kong Institute of Education:
The Chinese State at the Borders is well-researched, thought-provoking, and highly literate – the contributors are first-rate scholars. Any reader interested in the history of Chinese frontiers or the nature of the Chinese state, past and present, will benefit from this multidisciplinary volume.
