Missionary Roots of Nationalism

In this episode of Pekingology, Freeman Chair Jude Blanchette is joined by Dan Mattingly (politicalscience.yale.edu/people/daniel-mattin…), an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Yale University, to discuss his recent paper, The Missionary Roots of Nationalism: Evidence from China (journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/716972?j…). In addition to the paper, they discuss emerging questions surrounding China’s system, the shift of leadership norms in China, and whether China is beginning a new crisis era under centralized rule.
