"Chinese Nationalism in the Global Era presents an analysis of the tension between nationalism and globalisation in China since the beginning of the 'reform and opening' period in the late 1970s to the present day. It makes a unique contribution to the on-going debate on the nature of Chinese nationalism by showing how nationalism is used to link together key areas of policy-making including economic policy, national unification and foreign policy. The book looks in detail at the areas of policy-making where the preservation of Chinese identity and the impact of external influences, such as education and information technology, converge."--BOOK JACKET.
