The reign of Emperor Jiaqing (1796–1820 CE) has long occupied an awkward position in studies of China’s last dynasty, the Qing (1644–1911 CE). Conveniently marking a watershed between the prosperous eighteenth century and the tragic post–Opium War era, this quarter century has nevertheless been glossed over as an unremarkable interlude separating two well-studied epochs of great transformation. White Lotus Rebels and South China Pirates presents a major reassessment of this misunderstood period by examining how the emperors, bureaucrats, and foreigners responded to the two crises that shaped the transition from the Qianlong to the Jiaqing reign.
Wensheng Wang argues that the dramatic combination of internal uprising and transnational piracy, rather than being a hallmark of inexorable dynastic decline, propelled the Manchu court to reorganize itself through a series of modifications in policymaking and bureaucratic structure. The resulting Jiaqing reforms initiated a process of state retreat that pulled the Qing Empire out of a cycle of aggressive overextension and resistance, and back onto a more sustainable track of development. Although this pragmatic striving for political sustainability was unable to save the dynasty from ultimate collapse, it represented a durable and constructive approach to the compounding problems facing the late Qing regime and helped sustain it for another century. As one of the most comprehensive accounts of the Jiaqing reign, White Lotus Rebels and South China Pirates provides a fresh understanding of this significant turning point in China’s long imperial history.

Introduction, Chapter 2, 5, & 6
评分还没读书先读了罗威廉的书评，罗的批评非常尖锐，另外顺道把哈佛出版社批判了一番。/读完了，确实差。。。不知所云，不觉得嘉庆改革和两个叛乱之间关系多大，也不觉得什么全方位危机这个概念有任何用处。。彭慕兰和王国斌你们两位放这论文过关良心不会痛嘛。。
评分构思约有三点：填补嘉道研究的薄弱处（回应中国史学界叙事），追溯波拉切克inner opium war的源头（回应美国清史叙事），加入borderland/frontier相关讨论（回应帝国转向和新清史），还要照顾社会史方法，头绪太多，结果搞成一堆浆糊。第六章讨论政治制度转型中的内廷行政制度化、军机处权责转移，以及结论对可持续发展政治模式的总结还可一读，以华中和东南两类非内亚frontier相排比的想法也有些启发，其余基本无足观。文风很混乱，估计原本就是清史叙事习惯，为了满足编辑要求而加进去一些社科概念和学术史。对外关系一章尤其不知所云。
评分10/29/2015 一般，作者对乾隆是多大仇……
