Dr Qingfei Yin's book reviewed by the LSE Review of Books
Dr Yin's book Cold War transformations – state building in China and Vietnam’s borderlands was reviewed recently in the LSE Review of Books.
Her work is a new exploration of how China and Vietnam developed their state institutions, governance structures and political identities during the Cold War. This original and meticulously researched work is a landmark contribution to Cold War history, Asian studies, border studies and theories of state formation that extends beyond its geographical focus, according to Luciano Magaldi Sardella.
