Abstract:
This paper examines the contribution of overseas scholars to Chinese studies. Given that eighty
percent of the Chinese diaspora are located in Southeast Asia, it pays particular attention to
social science scholarship in the region. The work of scholars in religion and ethnicity are
highlighted. The authors argue that the rise of China in the last thirty years has led to a shift of
research originating from the mainland. However, they suggest that China will not become the
centre of scholarship on the Chinese; instead there will be multiple centres developing in
Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.
