Course Description

Ming China in the 16th century was at the center of the global economy but a series of crises in the 17th century led not only to its downfall but also to widespread warfare and turmoil in the region. From the ashes of the old order arose new regimes such as the Qing in China and the Tokugawa in Japan, setting the stage for unprecedented stability and prosperity in the 18th century. This course examines aspects of this transition, including trade, environment, class, ethnicity, politics, and ideology, and state and society responses.
