This book offers a novel perspective on state formation by examining the cases of Sengoku Japan and Republican China. Through a comprehensive analysis, it proposes an innovative explanation that emphasizes the interplay of ideational and geographic factors. The study seeks to answer the question of why some collapsed states are able to reconstitute themselves while others fail.
Graham F. Odell employs two distinct cases, Republican China (1912-1949) and Sengoku Japan (1477-1615), to develop a theoretical framework that sheds light on this phenomenon. These cases are chosen for their uniqueness and the opportunity they provide to formulate an original theoretical explanation.
The book highlights several significant factors that differentiate these cases from others. Firstly, the periods of Chinese and Japanese history are characterized by state collapse and reconstitution, making them highly relevant to the study of state formation. Secondly, the cases are distinct in terms of ideology, political symbolism, and the geographical distribution of social power, which contribute to their success in reconstituting themselves.
By developing a new theory of successful state reconstitution, the book provides an answer to the question that has scholarly and practical implications. It offers insights into the factors that facilitate state collapse and reconstitution, as well as the strategies that states can employ to enhance their resilience and stability. Moreover, the theory's geographical applicability extends beyond East Asia, making it a valuable resource for scholars and policymakers interested in state formation in different regions.
This book will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of international politics, political science, and state formation, particularly those focused on East Asia. It provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis that challenges existing theories and offers new perspectives on state formation processes.
