The Jews of China: v. 2: A Sourcebook and Research Guide

By Jonathan Goldstein Copyright 2000

    An impressive interdisciplinary effort by Chinese, Japanese, Middle Eastern, and Western Sinologists and Judaic Studies specialists, these books scrutinize patterns of migration, acculturation, assimilation, and economic activity of successive waves of Jewish arrivals in China from approximately A.D.1100 to 1949.

    The constructivist approach is the most important new school in the field of post-cold war international relations. Constructivists assume that interstate and interorganizational relations are always at some level intersubjective, embedded in social, cultural, and linguistic contexts. Thus they bridge IR theory and social theory. This book explores the constructivist approach in IR as it has been developing in the larger context of social science worldwide with younger IR scholars building anew on the tradition of Wittgenstein, Habermas, Luhman, Foucault, and others. The contributors include Friedrich Kratochwil, Harald Muller, Matthias Albert, Jennifer Milliken, Birgit Locher-Dodge, Elisabeth Prugl, Ben Rosamond, Nicholas Onuf, Audie Klotz, Lars Lose, and the editors.
