Gendai Chugoku Nyumon (Chiku Ma Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] China is difficult to understand. But the days of not having to understand it are over. While things are changing too fast, there is still a significant amount of traditional China remaining. Even though the Han Chinese seem to be the dominant ethnic group, the country is large and ethnic diversity cannot be ignored. The middle class has increased, but there are still large economic disparities between regions and social strata. Which China is the right one? This book brings together the latest results of research on China by specialist researchers and journalists to present a balanced perspective on China. Eleven scholars from different fields, including contemporary history, cultural history, ideology, society, military affairs, and regional studies, give clear and diverse lectures.

中国は理解しにくい。だが理解せずにすむ時代は終わった。変化が速すぎる一方で、伝統中国もまだかなり残る。漢民族が圧倒的に見えても、国土は広く、民族的多様性も無視できない。中間層は増えたが地域間、社会階層間の経済格差も大きい。いったいどの中国が正しい姿なのか。専門研究者・ジャーナリストによる中国研究の最新結果を結集し、中国をバランスよく見る視座を示す。現代史、文化史、思想、社会、軍事、地域研究など分野を異にする十一人が、明快で多彩な講義を繰り広げる。
