Title: | Introduction: Neighbouring in the Borderworlds along China's Frontiers | Contributor(s): | Zhang, Juan (author); Saxer, Martin (author) | Publication Date: | 2017 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/22124 | Open Access Link: | http://www.oapen.org/search?identifier=621899 | Abstract: | Over the past decades, living in proximity to an increasingly powerful China has gained new meanings. 'Rising China'- the nation, the notion, and the buzzword-sparks dreams and triggers fears. Borders that were closed during the Cold War era have again become zones of contact and exchange. Old trade routes are revived, new economic corridors established, and remote border towns turned into special zones. Tales of entrepreneurial success spread wide and stimulate hopes for trans-regional development. At the same time, security concerns remain high, territorial disputes still loom large, and minorities from northern Burma to Tibet, Xinjiang and Tajikistan continue to seek autonomy. In this context, engaging in multiple neighbouring relations has become a necessity for those living in these zones of contact and exchange. The experiences and realities of relation-making across China's borders shape life in profound and lasting ways. However, these experiences and realities of everyday neighbouring receive less analytic attention than they deserve. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | The Art of Neighbouring: Making Relations Across China's Borders, p. 11-29 | Publisher: | Amsterdam University Press | Place of Publication: | Amsterdam, Netherlands | ISBN: | 9789048532629 9789462982581 |
