Research on the Municipal Affairs of Hankou in Modern Times (1861-1949)

About This Novel

This book focuses on the transformation of urban society and the progress of urban civilization in Hankou in modern times. It adopts the official and private discussion method, and uses a large number of newspapers, periodicals, archives and other historical materials to conduct a long-term longitudinal dynamic investigation of the development and evolution of Hankou's municipal government from 1861 to 1949. It focuses on the development and changes of Hankou's municipal government in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and evaluates the characteristics of government-run and private municipal administration at each stage in the modern Hankou municipal development process, as well as the relationship between official governance, merchant autonomy and urban governance. The relationship between the possibility of municipal autonomy systematically combs the development and evolution of Hankou's municipal system in modern times, and empirically reveals the complex interactive relationship and evolution process of interdependence and inevitable conflict between official governance and merchant autonomy in the process of modern Hankou's municipal development. It thus demonstrates in the form of individual cases the complex state of both certain boundaries and interpenetration between the state and urban society in modern China, and provides a positive response to the discussions of foreign scholars on the social development of Hankou's city.
