- The Blue Frontier: Maritime Vision and Power of the Qing Empire (Cambridge University Press, 2018; xv + 292 pages). Representing six years’ work and archival research in China, Britain, Germany, and the US, this monograph dissects Qing maritime policies throughout the eighteenth century, revising the perception that Qing China was simply a land power. It was engaged with the ocean politically, economically, militarily, and even conceptually. An abundance of primary sources (almost all Chinese) are drawn upon, as well as scholarly work in Chinese, English, Japanese and German. Almost nothing has been published previously in English on this topic.
