About This Book

The work examines the development of republican governance in China from the fall of the imperial order through the interwar and wartime years, tracing ideological roots in Confucian thought and their transformation into nationalist, republican, and mass-mobilizing doctrines. It analyzes the interplay of political movements, military power, and formal institutions, the consolidation efforts of the Nanking regime, and the pressures of foreign aggression that made government migratory. Chapters survey legal frameworks, party organization, social bases of authority, and the role of ideology in shaping state policy and popular loyalty.
