International Relations needs to move beyond critiques of Eurocentrism to present big, positive alternative ideas. Few if any books in the field achieve this goal as well as State Formation in Historical East Asia. Huang and Kang's fresh, challenging and incredibly important thesis is that state-building in East Asia preceded that in Europe, and was the result of emulation rather than military competition. Jason Sharman, Sir Patrick Sheehy Professor of International Relations, University of Cambridge This innovative analysis demonstrates that state building in Asia was very different from Europe: characterized by mimicry and diffusion, rather than warfare or competition. It is a major and very welcome contribution to the literature on state-building across the world. Anna Grzymala-Busse, Kevin and Michelle Douglas Professor of International Studies, Stanford University Huang and Kang have reconstructed deep historical pathways toward state making in East Asia. They helpfully highlight shared traits that distinguish these states as a group from those formed in Europe. State Formation Through Emulation: The East Asian Model helps to reduce the persistent asymmetry of knowledge about European and East Asian state making dynamics. The book points us toward to a future moment when historically contextualized state making dynamics across different world regions can be scrutinized for the distinctive features these diverse states bring into their subsequent encounters with each other.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
