State and economy in republican China: A handbook for scholars (Volume 1)

This Handbook is designed for scholars and students of twentieth-century China. It has several related purposes. First, it surveys the holdings of major Chinese archives and collections bearing on the economic and business history of Republican China, including the Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan. Second, it reproduces, for the purposes of scholarly training, a series of original documents. Third, through its survey of archives and presentation of documents, it aims to encourage further research on a central issue: the relationship between the state and the economy in non-communist China in the twentieth century.
