Article: Ideology and Organization in the Qing Empire

On early modern political theology in China: R. Kent Guy (University of Washington), "Ideology and Organization in the Qing Empire" ("Journal of Early Modern History", 14 [4], 2010: pp. 355-77).

Quote: "This article considers an essay on provincial government written by the Yongzheng Emperor of China shortly after his ascension to the throne in 1723. The essay ... expresses the Emperor's new concern with the value of administrative efficacy. The essay argues that this was a fundamental innovation in the political theology of the Chinese state."
