idea that in ancient China a system of 'international relations' operated that is broadly comparable with the one in existence among the early modern European nation states is not new, although the argument has never before been developed as extensively and systematically.1 Victoria Tin-Bor Hui has piled enough information on both pans of her scales to instruct and intrigue even the most broadly educated readers, only a few of whom are likely to be equally conversant with the history of ancient China and early modern Europe. The chapters on the 'Dynamics of International Politics in Ancient China' (ch. 2) and on 'Rethinking the Dynamics of International Politics in Early Modern Europe' (ch. 3) chart in detail the evolution of Chinese politics and interstate relations in the preimperial period roughly from the seventh to the third century bc and contrast them with the relations among the major European powers (France, the Habsburg empire, and England/Great Britain) from 1495 to the Napoleonic Wars. These chapters are followed by one that illustrates strategies of state formation, and emphasizes approaches to 'self-strengthening' and 'self-weakening' as paramount factors that led to the prevalence of a logic of either domination (in the Chinese case) or balance of power (in the European case). The book's overarching thesis is that, by studying processes that are postulated as structurally similar at the start but diametrically opposed at the finish, it is possible to formulate a theory of state formation that is not vitiated by 'unilinear' thinking. Hui thus presents a critique of teleological views that, in Chinese history, would regard the fundamental and long-lasting unity of the empire as the natural result of political competition among states, while international politics in early

THE early morning of 30 August 1937, the prime minister of Canada, William Lyon Mackenzie King, awoke from a strange dream in which the main characters were himself, as usual, Earl Kitchener of Khartoum, the head of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a few unruly soldiers, and a young pig. Declining offers of help from the others, King caught and bagged the squealing piglet on his own. As he confided to his diary, the dream's meaning was obvious: it symbolized the Far Eastern situation 'as viewed by the Br[itish] Gov[ernmen]t or as it should be viewed'. The 'animal instincts' let loose since the outbreak of Sino-Japanese hostilities in July were too dangerous to be restrained by collective efforts; unpredictable eastern questions were 'best left to work themselves out'. The army and police, while ready to serve, 'should not be employed' so as 'not to deal with a pig in a poke'. Ever preoccupied with the meaning of his dreams, King concluded that involvement in the admittedly 'appalling' situation in China was 'not worth the lives of white men for "Business Interests'".1
