Peter Lorge questions current theories on China's relationship to war, and argues that war was the most important tool used by the Chinese in building and maintaining their empire.Emphasizing the relationship between the military and politics, chapters are organised around specific military events and, Lorge argues, the strength of territorial claims and political impact of each dynasty were determined by their military capacity.Ideal as a course ado 410 0$aWarfare and history. 607 $aChina$xHistory, Military$y960-1644 607 $aChina$xHistory, Military$y1644-1912 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a951/.02 700 $aLorge$b Peter Allan$f1967-$0924420 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451309903321 996 $aWar, politics and society in early modern China, 900-1795$92254212 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02759nam 2200613Ia 450 001 9910455274103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-40178-5 010 $a9786612401787 010 $a90-485-0794-4 035 $a(CKB)1000000000807923 035 $a(EBL)474306 035 $a(OCoLC)489216294 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000335844 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11245357 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000335844 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10278099 035 $a(PQKB)11177723 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3327147 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3327147 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10346715 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL240178 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000807923 100 $a20100120d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCivil service reform in post-communist countries$b[electronic resource] $ethe case of the Russian Federation and the Czech Republic /$fAlexander Kotchegura 210 $aLeiden $cLeiden University Press$dc2008 215 $a1 online resource (286 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a90-8728-060-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aContents; Acknowledgements; Ch 1: Introduction; Ch 2: Comparison of Civil Service Reforms:Issues of Theory and Methodology; Ch 3: The Russian Civil Service: Evolution, Status and Reform Capacity; Ch 4: Reform of the Russian Civil Service: Who Will Win this Time - Bureaucracy or Politicians?; Ch 5: The Czech Civil Service: Historical Legacy, Current Situation and Capacity for Reform; Ch 6: Reform of the Czech Civil Service: Internal Imperative or External Pressure? 327 $aCh 7: Comparative Analysis of Civil Service Systems in the Russian Federation and the Czech Republic: is there more Differences or Similarities?Ch 8: Comparison of Civil Service Reforms in Russia and The Czech Republic: Dynamics, Dimensions and Explanatory Factors; Ch 9: Findings and Conclusions; Bibliography; Summary; Samenvatting; Curriculum Vitae; Annex 1; Annex 2; Annex 3 330 $aComprehensive analysis of the development of the Russian an Czech state administration. 606 $aCivil service reform$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aCivil service reform$zCzech Republic 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivil service reform 615 0$aCivil service reform 676 $a301 676 $a320 676 $a500 700 $aKotchegura$b Alexander$0959357 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455274103321 996 $aCivil service reform in post-communist countries$92173854 997 $aUNINA
