Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 2001.

The prolonged convulsion of empire that ultimately destroyed the Ming dynasty in 1644 had its roots in Chinese tradition. Two diametrically opposed political philosophies were established in China's classical era: one philosophy advocated total domination of Chinese society by the state; the other philosophy advocated domination of the state by elite interests in society. The tension between these rival schools of thought lay mostly dormant, well into the Ming dynasty (1368--1644), until 1572, when internal and external crises brought it to the fore. From 1572 to 1644, holders of these two rival views fought a see-saw battle, trying to ensure either the state's or society's ascendancy over the other. The factional intrigue and economic warfare that characterize this chaotic period of history make sense only when viewed against the backdrop of China's primordial conflict between state and society, which is shown here to have been the chief dynamic of the age, outweighing other such sources of conflict as geographical origin, institutional affiliation, class, or economic occupation on the part of the historical figures of the time. Accordingly, 1572--1644 saw the rise and fall of several distinguishable statist factions, who acted in all cases to assert the symbolic precedence of the state over society and in some cases to extract more state revenue from society; and the age also saw the rise and fall of opposition factions, who sought to subordinate the state to society while often acting in a recalcitrant or obstructionist manner toward the state. Partisans chose one side or the other according to subjective, rather than objective factors. In practice, the pro-society faction proved generally stronger than the pro-state faction, leading to the collapse of the Ming state in 1644.
