Description
Tianxia – ‘all-under-Heaven’ - in everyday Chinese parlance simply means ‘the world’. But tianxia is also a geopolitical term found in canonical writings that has a deeper historical and philosophical significance. This volume contextualizes the tianxia vision within a variety of strategies drawn from a broad spectrum of cultures and peoples.
