The Art of Neighbouring cover

For the nations on its borders, the rapid rise of China represents an opportunity-but it also brings worry, especially in areas that have long been disputed territories of contact and exchange. This book gathers contributors from a range of disciplines to look at how people in those areas are actively engaging in making relationships across the border, and how those interactions are shaping life in the region-and in the process helping to reconfigure the cultural and political landscape of post-Cold War Asia.

The Art of Neighbouring addresses a critical gap in existing scholarship on the localized impacts of China’s rise. Through the use of multi-sited and multi-level cases in each of the chapters, it weaves together a rich tapestry of lived experiences that provides nuanced insights into ‘borderworlds’ as loci of Chinese interrelations with its neighbors, and vice versa. - Pichamon Yeophantong, Journal of Chinese Overseas 14 (2018)
