This chapter presents a comparison of the Sui-Tan elite perceptions of the borderlands with the complications of interethnic relations in frontier regions. It describes the attitudes of the Sui-Tang elites towards the Turko-Mongols and discusses Confucian ideology and record-keeping practices that influenced premodern historiography to overlook the Turko-Mongols and other borderland inhabitants living within the empires. This chapter also assesses the Sui-Tang elite, the role of Turko-Mongols, and the China-Inner Asian borderlands.Less

Following the Roman conquests in Europe west of the Rhine River in the 50s BC and south of the Danube in 15 BC, a frontier zone was established that was to endure for 500 years. Written sources yield limited information about interaction through merchant ventures and diplomatic missions. But archaeological evidence provides a vast amount of data about the geography, character, scale, and chronology of interactions between individuals and communities on the two sides of the border. Using the Cross-Cultural Interaction Model, this paper explores the evidence for interaction in four identifiable zones ranging from Roman bases on the edge of the empire through a frontier region and an outer rim to new centers established far beyond the imperial boundaries.Less

This is a study of the interactions between Indians and Spaniards in the Chocó throughout much of the colonial period, revealing the complexity of inter-ethnic relations in frontier regions. The book considers the changing relationships not only between Spaniards and Indians but also between factions of both groups, showing how Spaniards and Indians sometimes allied with each other against other ethnically mixed groups with different agendas.Less

Despite successes in building local geological institutions and fostering native research, Chinese geologists still could not reach an international audience or stem the tide of foreign exploration on the Chinese frontier. Chapter 3 analyzes Chinese efforts to overcome these difficulties on their own terms. The chapter begins with several early attempts at community building and ends with the Geological Society of China’s high-profile activities in the 1920s. Rather than excluding foreign researchers, the Society framed Chinese territory as a shared concern and made themselves indispensable as hosts to otherwise competitive research interests from around the world. This move gave Chinese geologists exposure to foreign research networks and access to foreign investigations of remote frontier regions. By projecting a unified image of China and a cosmopolitan vision of Chinese geology in the midst of the chaotic politics of the Republican period, Chinese geologists solidified their claim to represent their home territory to the world.Less
