Zusammenfassung:"This book outlines a working theory of human security, and applies it to an analysis of the dynamics of the Chinese state. Professor Bedeski demonstrates how sovereignty of the state reflects primary human concerns of survival, where the state's fundamental purpose is to preserve citizens' lives. Using his theory of human security, he describes eight "meta-constitutions" from the Legalist Qin empire to the potential federal state represented by Taiwan's continued autonomy. The incompleteness of Chinese sovereignty remains a key variable in understanding the policy and strategy of modernization, both within China and among neighboring East Asian states."--BOOK JACKET.
