Structures of Governance in Song Dynasty China, 960-1279 CE - Paperback

by Charles Hartman (Author)

Charles Hartman presents a groundbreaking revisionist history of the political culture of Imperial China as dominated by a struggle between 'technocratic' and 'Confucian' views of governance. His analysis of the workings of Song governance both complements and extends his acclaimed previous work The Making of Song Dynasty History (2020).
