About this product
Product Information
To convey modern China's history and the forces driving its economic success, rail has no equal. From warlordism to Cultural Revolution, railroads suffered the country's ills but persisted because they were exemplary institutions. Elisabeth Köll shows why they remain essential to the PRC's technocratic economic model for China's future.

Reviews
A sweeping account of the railways themselves as well as the impact of railway expansion on multiple dimensions of Chinese life...Wide-ranging and insightful., So far the most comprehensive survey of China's railroad history...The detailed studies relying on primary sources and in-depth discussions on how China's railroads as institutions with wide social, economic, cultural, and political functions make this book the most reliable reference for anyone who is interested in understanding China in the modern times., Koll's book could lead to the emergence of a field of Chinese railroad studies just as the First Transcontinental Railroad led to the spatial magnification of America...Many topics we thought we knew--gender, machines, space, capitalism, social stratification--are connected and expanded through the fresh lens of railroad history., The history of Chinese railroads is a topic so important, it is surprising we have had to wait so long for a book like this--the most comprehensive history of Chinese railways in either Chinese or English. Based on previously unused archives and interviews, Elisabeth Köll gives readers a picture of the building and development of what has become one of the largest railway networks in the world. At the same time, Köll provides a new perspective on a broad sweep of Chinese history from the final years of the Qing dynasty, through war and revolution in the twentieth century, and into China's economic rise since the 1980s., Offers a powerful lens for understanding twentieth-century China...Köll's work offers an important new perspective on the development of China's rail network. The conclusions that she draws from the case of the Jin-Pu line speak broadly to scholars interested in infrastructure, technology, economy, and the power of the modern state., Required reading. It is an exhaustively sourced analysis of how geopolitics, business organization, and social relations influenced the development of one of China's most important industries., Köll is clearly a master of archival diplomacy, for she has over time found materials accessible to no other foreign scholar, resulting in one of the richest studies in the evolution, management, finances, and labor politics of any Chinese enterprise. It gives nuanced and sustained attention to the intersection of business and politics that remains to this day a critical factor for the success or failure of business in China., As the first comprehensive history of China's railroad development in any language, Elisabeth Köll's well-researched account addresses issues of interest to historians of technology...Not only offers perspectives from the non-Western world, underrepresented in the histories of transportation and mobility; it also highlights the deep history behind the managerial innovation and adaptability that prompted policy makers to place railroads at the heart of China's One Belt, One Road initiative.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
