Coble examines the devastating impact of Japan's invasion and occupation of the lower Yangzi on China's emerging modern business community. Arguing that the war gravely weakened Chinese capitalists, Coble demonstrates that in occupied areas the activities of businessmen were closer to collaboration than to heroic resistance. He shows how the war left an important imprint on the structure and culture of Chinese business enterprise by encouraging those traits that had allowed it to survive in uncertain and dangerous times.Although historical memory emphasizes the entrepreneurs who followed the Nationalists armies to the interior, most Chinese businessmen remained in the lower Yangzi area. If they wished to retain any ownership of their enterprises, they were forced to collaborate with the Japanese and the Wang Jingwei regime in Nanjing. Characteristics of business in the decades prior to the war, including a preference for family firms and reluctance to become public corporations, distrust of government, opaqueness of business practices, and reliance of personal connections (guanxi) were critical to the survival of enterprises during the war and were reinforced by the war experience. Through consideration of the broader implications of the many responses to this complex era, Chinese Capitalists in Japan's New Order makes a substantial contribution to larger discussions of the dynamics of World War II and of Chinese business culture.Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Economic aspectsChinaShanghaiShanghai (China)Economic conditionsShanghai (China)Politics and governmentChinaForeign relationsJapanJapanForeign relationsChinabattle of shanghai.beijing.business culture.business.capitalism.central china.changzhou.china.chinese businessmen.chinese corporations.chinese history.collaboration.colonialism.confucian capitalism.corporate culture.corporation.empire.entrepreneur.family business.government regulation.guanxi.historical memory.invasion.japan.japanese imperialism.military.nanjing.nationalist army.nonfiction.occupation.rebellion.regime.resistance.wang jingwei.war.world war two.ww2.yangzi.Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Economic aspects330.951/132042Coble Parks M.1946-1548285MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780246903321Chinese capitalists in Japan's new order3805200UNINA04381nam 2200889 450 991079768640332120230807193055.00-520-96073-410.1525/9780520960732(CKB)3710000000473117(EBL)4001393(SSID)ssj0001545719(PQKBManifestationID)16135966(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001545719(PQKBWorkID)14792245(PQKB)11546337(StDuBDS)EDZ0001370991(MiAaPQ)EBC4001393(OCoLC)920673766(MdBmJHUP)muse47185(DE-B1597)519205(DE-B1597)9780520960732(Au-PeEL)EBL4001393(CaPaEBR)ebr11095900(CaONFJC)MIL828777(EXLCZ)99371000000047311720151110h20152015 uy 0engur|||||||nn|ntxtccrEdge of empire Atlantic networks and revolution in Bourbon Rio de la Plata /Fabricio PradoOakland, California :University of California Press,2015.©20151 online resource (260 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-520-28516-6 0-520-28515-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --Illustrations and Tables --Acknowledgments --Introduction --1.

Postponing the Revolution --Conclusion --Notes --Archive Abbreviations --Bibliography --IndexIn the first decades of the 1800's, after almost three centuries of Iberian rule, former Spanish territories fragmented into more than a dozen new polities. Edge of Empire analyzes the emergence of Montevideo as a hot spot of Atlantic trade and regional center of power, often opposing Buenos Aires. By focusing on commercial and social networks in the Rio de la Plata region, the book examines how Montevideo merchant elites used transimperial connections to expand their influence and how their trade offered crucial support to Montevideo's autonomist projects. These transimperial networks offered different political, social, and economic options to local societies and shaped the politics that emerged in the region, including the formation of Uruguay. Connecting South America to the broader Atlantic World, this book provides an excellent case study for examining the significance of cross-border interactions in shaping independence processes and political identities.HISTORY / Latin America / South AmericabisacshRio de la Plata Region (Argentina and Uruguay)Economic conditions18th centuryRío de la Plata Region (Argentina and Uruguay)History18th century18th century.19th century south america.argentina.argentinian commerce.atlantic trade.banda oriental.cisplatine province.colonia do sacramento.commerce in the south atlantic.don manuel cipriano de melo.economic history of argentina.luso brazilians.montevideo.portuguese imperialism.rio de la plata.south america.south american history.spanish conquest in south america.transatlantic trade.transimperial trade.uruguay.war in the south atlantic.HISTORY / Latin America / South America.382.09895Prado Fabrício Pereira1572251MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797686403321Edge of empire3847051UNINA
