一九一四年至一九一八年的第一次世界大戰(The Great War)是一場毀滅性的全球性衝突,更是二十世紀國際秩序的起點。從一戰後鄂圖曼帝國、奧匈帝國解體,英法殖民分割到冷戰期間的美蘇競爭,東亞地區的權力平衡反覆變動。中國爭取自己的權利,日本和西方列強之間的競爭,深刻影響了東亞的地緣政治。無論是第一次世界大戰還是今日的地緣政治衝突都表明,國際秩序的穩定與否,取決於大國之間如何協調,達至和平。 《戰爭與和平:第一次世界大戰與中國》是一本關於一戰對中國及其周邊地區影響的研究論著。本書匯聚了來自兩岸三地及美國諸學者的研究成果,分為七個研究方向,每編都聚焦於不同的主題範疇,從全球史到中國經濟、基督教、孫中山及其三民主義、圖像史與觀念史、外交史研究,以及一戰後中國的文化思潮等方面展開深入探討。戰爭與和平的交替,權力與秩序的博弈,無論是在百年前還是今日,都展現出深刻的相似性與延續性。本書的出版不僅是對歷史的一次深刻反思,更是對未來世界和平與穩定的一份期許。

In The New Politics of Beijing–Hong Kong Relations, Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo looks at the diverging changes to the ideologies from both Beijing and Hong Kong, and the ideological conflicts as taken in the form of factional political struggles between 2012 and the present. This book examines the paternalistic authoritarianism that can be seen in Beijing’s policy toward Hong Kong since the promulgation of the national security law in late June 2020. Lo analyzes the ideological shift from liberal nationalism to conservative nationalism in mainland China, which has taken place since late 2012. The increasingly radical localism in Hong Kong after 2014 transformed Beijing–Hong Kong relations into a conflict-ridden situation characterized by factional struggles. While the imposition of the national security law into Hong Kong since late June 2020 has stabilized the city politically, Beijing’s policy toward Hong Kong is now guided by the principles of protecting its national security and mainta
