Throne and Mandarins - China’s Search for a Policy during the Sino-French Controversy, 1880–1885

Summary

This study of the policy-making process in China during the Sino-French controversy of 1880–1885 illuminates China's response to the West in the 19th century. The threat of French efforts to extend control into northern Vietnam was the catalyst in Chinese policy decisions; Eastman traces the process by which the problem was eventually resolved.
