From the late Qing official Huang Zunxian \u9ec4\u9075\u5baa (who praised the Japanese system of provincial governance as pivotal in the Meiji State-building process) to the Republican governor of Guangdong Cheng Jionming \u9648\u70af\u660e and his Jeffersonian inspiration of a bottom-up reconstruction of China in the 1920s \u2013 including the \u201cprovincial patriots\u201d of the 1910s -, prominent individuals and organized networks or movements will be observed in their attempts at redefining the relationship between the \u201cState\u201d and the \u201clocal\u201d.<br \/>\nA survey of how the same concept of \u201clocal self-government\u201d was variously translated, adapted, and circulated through the use of multiple historical or \u201cforeign\u201d references (in the methodological framework of Begriffsgeschichte), will reveal contrasting, and often competing, political blueprints for the construction of a (differently conceived) \u201cmodern\u201d China.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Federico Brusadelli<\/strong> is Lecturer in Chinese History and International History of East Asia at the University of Naples \u201cL\u2019Orientale\u201d, where he completed his PhD in 2016 with a dissertation on the Chinese philosopher Kang Youwei.<br \/>\nFrom 2017 to 2020 he was Researcher in Sinology at the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany). In 2020\/2021 he was Visiting Fellow at the European Institute for Chinese Studies in Paris.
