Abstract
State formation is not a decisive process that has had immediate and urgent development before it was transmitted across the world. China’s modern state formation developed in a fundamentally different way from the rise of modern states in the West. The state-making logistics of imperial China focuses on society, nation, family, culture that affects decision making following the importance of incorporating cultural values that reflect collectivism rather than individualism. As it is crucial to understand China’s long history, locality and culture, this paper intends to explore the theoretical understanding of the Chinese state in present historical juncture, particularly from the perspective of the Global South. Considering culture that includes every aspect of life as an important aspect of state development, the paper focuses on the changing nature of the Chinese state revealing the importance of local culture, the social psychology, role of institutional structure as well as the role of history. The state building of China and the western world has differed in terms of tactics used for state development.
