China and Global History
Entangled Histories and Historiographies Since the Late Qing (1840sâPresent)
Series: - Leiden Series in Comparative Historiography, Volume: 14
This volume bridges the fields of Sinology and China Studies with Global History to explore the development of historical thinking in the Chinese context and Chinaâs global political and intellectual entanglements. The book addresses two key questions: how global historiographical writing developed in China from the late Qing to today, and how Chinese intellectuals and political actors engaged with transnational debates, networks, and encounters. With contributions from emerging and established scholars, the volume offers unique perspectives across Chinese historiography and intellectual history within a global context.
Sabine Hinrichs is a PhD candidate at the University of Vienna and a research assistant at the University of Hamburg. Her dissertation explores Republican-era Chinese historiography and how the Mongol Yuan dynasty (1271â1368) was integrated into Chinese historical narratives.
Sebestyén Hompot, PhD (University of Vienna), is a researcher at the Prague University of Economics and Business. His research examines Chinaâs state-promoted discourses on global order, including his dissertation on global historiography and narratives of the Zheng He voyages (2023).
Tanja Kotik is a PhD candidate in history at the University of Graz. Her research examines the entanglement of economic and political relations between West Germany and China in the 1980s and 1990s, and their influence on Sino-German joint ventures.
