Summary
Chapter 8 explores the ways that China’s “sovereignty” was reconceived and reconstituted through multilateral forums and transnational legal discourses during the periods of Guomindang regime consolidation, Japanese invasion, and postwar planning. It examines how developments in China played an important but now often forgotten role in discussions of world order and state sovereignty during this period.
