Frontiers in Sinology is our latest publishing initiative. The present series is aimed at publishing peer-reviewed postconference volumes, making the academic knowledge more accessible to everyone.

This is a multi-author volume resulted from an international conference of the same title, organized by the Academy and the Department of History, HKBU in December 2015, focusing on topics related to our understanding of the role of China in the global history. Apart from introductory chapters exploring methodological issues and providing big pictures of framing China in the world in particular time zones, this volume also covers rich discussions on the various themes from the ancient period to the twentieth century. This thought-provoking volume will be beneficial to readers who are interested in rethinking China's position in the global historical stage against the backdrop of Post-Orientalism.
