It shows how Chinese family and business networks were flexible and dynamic, and were closely interlocked with economic and social structures, around which government, and states, developed. It considers the crucial role of wealth and power in the process of state formation, and challenges accepted views of ChinChinese worlds.Business networksMalaysiaKedahHistoryBusiness networksChinaHistoryFamily-owned business enterprisesMalaysiaKedahHistoryFamily-owned business enterprisesChinaHistoryChineseMalaysiaKedahEconomic conditionsBusiness and politicsMalaysiaKedahHistoryKedahEconomic conditionsKedahPolitics and governmentKedahEthnic relationsBusiness networksHistory.Business networksHistory.Family-owned business enterprisesHistory.Family-owned business enterprisesHistory.ChineseEconomic conditions.Business and politicsHistory.650.1/3/0899510595115.75bclWu Xiao An1965-1678202MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829131803321Chinese business in the making of a Malay state, 1882-19414190791UNINA
