Book synopsis

This book presents a comparative historical analysis of mass nationalist movements in Chinese history, which counters current claims that popular nationalism in present-day China is strong enough to sustain costly expansionist wars. Popular nationalism in China has been on the rise since the early 1990s to the concern of many observers. Some have even asked whether China will become another Germany. A comparative historical analysis of pre-war and wartime nationalist mobilization helps us better understand how individuals formulate their opinions under extreme conditions. It concludes that the public's tendency to underestimate foreign threats, taken together with pro-minority domestic institutions, may significantly undermine a state's efforts at nationalist mobilization and thus limit its capability to pursue external expansion.§
