{"product_id":"conserving-chinas-northwest-frontier-you-tien-hsing-9780198867173","title":"Conserving China's Northwest Frontier: Nature, Culture, and Future","description":"China's immense northwest holds the key to the country's internal geopolitical and socioeconomic restructuring and global soft power today. In addition to hosting mega investments in energy, mining, infrastructure, and urban development, this resource-rich and ethnically diverse, yet under-studied, territory of 3.7 million square kilometres is leading China's rising developmental ethos of conserving nature and culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eConserving China's Northwest Frontier\u003c\/em\u003e offers nuanced accounts of the under-studied and often misunderstood region with fresh perspectives from the ground up. Derived from decade-long ethnography in three sites in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Gansu province of the northwest from 2011 to 2022, this book also offers an unusually expansive coverage on three counts. Topically, it integrates both environmental and heritage conservation. Temporally, it situates the contemporary conservation politics within geopolitical, ethnoterritorial, and environmental histories of the frontier region. Spatially, it connects multiple territorial scales from the global, national, regional, to the grassroots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e You-Tien Hsing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198867174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198867173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"You-Tien Hsing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064791314687,"sku":"9780198867173","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61c62288-a300-437b-972c-32593758f881.jpg?v=1768671073","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conserving-chinas-northwest-frontier-you-tien-hsing-9780198867173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
