Abstract The present issue of our academic journal, Asian and African Studies, represents one of the many results of such cooperation. The authors are internationally established and well-known Taiwanese scholars with whom the Department of Asian and African Studies has been collaborating in the areas of social studies and humanities for several years. The articles in this volume are published in Chinese, because it is our firm belief that sinological research cannot remain limited to sources in Western languages. The volume not only represents a bridge which links Slovenian and international sinologists to Taiwanese scholarship; it also provides an opportunity for direct insight into the original sources, defining this discourse. Such a decision of the editorial board is based on the conviction that the incorporation of material in native language into any intercultural research framework provides a more objective, and at the same time, hermeneutically more proper understanding of the complex problems under investigation.

CHINA, HONG KONG, AND THE LONG 1970S: GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES Edited by Priscilla Roberts and Odd Arne Westad CONTENTS Preface Notes on Contributors List of Figures and Tables Introduction: China and the Long 1970s: The Great Transformation Priscilla Roberts This book explores the forces that impelled China, the world’s largest socialist state, to make massive changes in its domestic and international stance during the long 1970s. Fourteen distinguished scholars investigate the special, perhaps crucial part that the territory of Hong Kong played in encouraging and midwifing China’s relationship with the non-Communist world. The Long 1970s were the years when China moved dramatically and decisively toward much closer relations with the non-Communist world. In the late 1970s, China also embarked on major economic reforms, designed to win it great power status by the early twenty-first centuries. The volume addresses the long-term implications of China’s choices for the outcome of the Cold War and in steering the global international outlook toward free-market capitalism. Decisions made in the 1970s are key to understanding the nature and policies of the Chinese state today and the worldview of current Chinese leaders.

Reflections on Mainland China and Taiwan, 2023

Reflections on Mainland China and Taiwan is a multi-disciplinary collection of research articles on East Asia by scholars from Seton Hall University’s Asian Studies program. It encompasses a broad range of topics covering philosophy and religion, history, international relations, language, and culture. It includes a history of Seton Hall’s Chinese program, one of the earliest such curricula in the United States. Two papers compare eastern and western philosophies while other articles examine the concept of the Mandate of Heaven and the role of shaman in Song China society. Three essays explore various topics concerning Taiwan. Treatises on modern Chinese history provide a profile of a Chinese feminist and revolutionary during revolution against the imperial court and how Shanghai served as a refuge for Jews fleeing Europe during the World War II. Another essay outlines the contemporary practice and the health benefits of practicing Yang Style Taijiquan. Readers will gain insight into various dimensions of Asian history and culture. This book is dedicated to Dr. Edwin Pak-wah Leung who taught at Seton Hall for forty years.

China, Hong Kong, and the Long 1970s: Global Perspectives, 2017

This book explores the forces that impelled China, the world’s largest socialist state, to make massive changes in its domestic and international stance during the long 1970s. Fourteen distinguished scholars investigate the special, perhaps crucial part that the territory of Hong Kong played in encouraging and midwifing China’s relationship with the non-Communist world. The Long 1970s were the years when China moved dramatically and decisively toward much closer relations with the non-Communist world. In the late 1970s, China also embarked on major economic reforms, designed to win it great power status by the early twenty-first centuries. The volume addresses the long-term implications of China’s choices for the outcome of the Cold War and in steering the global international outlook toward free-market capitalism. Decisions made in the 1970s are key to understanding the nature and policies of the Chinese state today and the worldview of current Chinese leaders. “By gathering a group of both eminent and promising young scholars, this volume edited by Priscilla Roberts and Odd Arne Westad presents a series of fresh perspectives and revealing studies on why and how developments in Chinese politics, economy, society, culture, and international relations in the critical yet paradoxical “Long 1970s” had led to China’s embrace of the Reform and Opening-up Project, bringing about profound transformations to China as well as the larger world.” (Chen Jian, Distinguished Global Network Professor of History, New York University and NYU-Shanghai; Hu Shih Professor Emeritus, Cornell University, USA) “The “long 1970s” – a period of near “existential crisis” in the West and real anguish and transformative change in China. This original volume considers these two inter-related historical processes in the watershed of the late 20th century. The death of Mao, Deng Xiaoping’s rise and second revolution, and bewildering changes domestically and in international affairs transformed China. China and the world have not been the same since. These excellent studies open a new field of investigation in China studies.” (Gordon H. Chang, Stanford University, USA, author “Fateful Times: A History of America’s Preoccupation with China” (2015)) I regret to say that this book is not available in China, thanks to Springer Nature/ Palgrave Macmillan's exceptionally broadbrush censorship of its publications for the China market. It was one of the more than 100,000 items ("less than 1 percent" of their content) that were blocked in Springer's China offerings. It is also a book worth reading!
