Ethnic minorities in modern China

China¿s rise has made it a major world force, economically and strategically.One of the chief concerns of the rising Chinese state is to remain united andbecome better integrated. Yet over the past decade, ethnic tensions appear tohave grown sharper among some of the fifty-five state-recognised minorities. Rioting in the Tibetan areas in March 2008 and in the Xinjiang capital Ürümqi in July 2009 have shown the volatility of ethnic relations in some areas and increased the interest and need for a greater understanding of the situation. This new Major Work fills this gap, answering theoretical questions relating toChina¿s ethnic minorities, detailing the individual separatist movements, andproviding the historical background, as well as the politics and policy, economic, social, religious and educational causes to the problems facing China today.
