研究成果概要
     The Ming-Qing transition in the 17th century was an important page of East Asian regional history. Not only did the Ming Empire collapse amid the rapid rise of the Manchu Qing, but regional neighbors such the Choson Kingdom, the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Mongol tribes all switched their allegiance from the Ming to the Qing. It is thus a classic case of power transition in the history of East Asian international relations. Focusing on the role of norms in the Ming-Qing transition, this research project aims to uncover the regional dynamics of norm adoption and diffusion in the historical process of power transition in East Asia.
     Based on careful archive and literature research conducted at Stanford University, my research has uncovered several important mechanisms of norm adoption and diffusion in the 17th century. Specifically, the Manchu Qing’s dealing with norms (i) showed its intention to fight against the discrimination of the Ming Empire, (ii) reflected its hope to revive the historical glory of the Jurchen Jin, and (iii) revealed its goal of claiming the hegemonic status in East Asia.
     Some initial findings of the project were presented at the Annual Convention of the International Studies Association and the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association in 2021.
