This book counters the conventional narrative of state formation, which overlooks the fact that state bureaucracies in East Asia had emerged 1,000 years earlier than in Europe. It argues that state formation in Korea, Japan, Vietnam occurred through emulation of China—the hegemon with a civilizational influence—not in direct competition with it.
