Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est une étude divisée en quatre parties. La première partie est consacrée à la Région Oui͏̈gour autonome du Xinjiang, dont elle présente la situation géo-économique et le réseau de transport. La seconde partie étudie l'évolution démographique, l'urbanisation et le système urbain de la ville de Korla, préalable nécessaire à la troisième partie qui analyse l'économie urbaine et les transformations de cette même ville. Enfin, la dernière partie propose une analyse de la planification spatiale du territoire de Korla. Il s'agit donc, au cours de cette étude de comprendre et d'expliquer les dimensions géographiques de l'économie de cette ville. Donc ce sujet analyse, autour de ces quatre grands axes de recherche, la place de la ville de Korla dans l'économie urbaine du XinjiangThis thesis is a study divided into four parts. The first part is dedicated to the autonomous region Oui͏̈gour, Xinjiang, the situation of which it presents geo-economic and the transport system. The second part studies the demographic evolution and the urbanization, urban system of the city of Korla, prerequisite necessary for the third part which analyzes the urban economy and the alterations of this town. Finally, the last part proposes an analysis of the spatial economic planning of the territory of Korla. It is about, understanding and analysing the geographic dimensions of the economy of this city. Thus this subject analyzes, around these four research main axis, the place of the city of Korla in the urban economy of Xinjiang

Full textAbstract:
Le Xinjiang, en Chine occidentale, est une région essentiellement désertique. La sécheresse et l'aridité, quasi permanentes tout au long du Quaternaire, ont pour cause la continentalité et l'orographie. C'est curieusement à la périphérie du plus vaste désert sableux du monde, le Taklamakan, qui occupe une immense dépression d'origine tectonique entourée des hautes montagnes Tian Shan, Kunlun, Karakorum et Pamir, que se situent de nombreuses oasis verdoyantes. C'est aux eaux de fonte des neiges et des glaciers que l'on doit l'existence du Tarim, le plus grand fleuve endoréique de la planète, de ses affluents et de tous les autres cours d'eau et aussi des grandes oasis créés par l'Homme il ya plus de 3 millénaires, grâce à une parfaite maîtrise de la ressource en eau. Ces oasis, écosystèmes artificiels, n'ont cessé de s'étendre, tout au long de l'Histoire, au rythme de l'augmentation de la population. Or, c'est justement cette extension des superficies irriguées, imputable à l'intensification et à la diversification des productions agricoles notamment depuis 1950, explique la dégradation des écosystèmes oasiens et de leurs bordures. Pour illustrer cette évolution récente nous avons choisi d'étudier l'oasis de Keriya en utilisant la télédétection. Le suivi de cette oasis entre 1977 et 2002 nous a permis de préciser les rôles respectifs de l'Homme et du climat sur l'évolution globale de l'oasis marquée par la dénudation des sols, l'érosion éolienne, la salinisation des eaux et des sols. Les deux indices que nous avons conçus pour le suivi des variations de la nappe superficielle et de la salinisation des sols à Keriya pourraient être appliqués à d'autres régions arides que celle du Xinjiang; ils pourraient conduire à l'aménagement adéquat des oasis et des périmètres irrigués.

Full textAbstract:
Le Xinjiang -situé au Nord Ouest de la Chine- est traversé par la "Route de la soie" dont les deux principaux tracés contournent le désert du Taklamakan au Nord et au Sud. Cette route n'a pas uniquement servi au transport des biens matériels, elle a galement véhiculé des doctrines religieuses comme le bouddhisme. Cette religion, introduite au Xinjiang entre le Ier s. Av. Et le Ier s. Ap. J-C. , a donné naissance à une civilisation bouddhique qui, bien que maintes fois persécutée par les dynasties chinoises et affaiblie par l'invasion musulmane, a laissé derrière elle de nombreux vestiges. Les plus anciens établissements bouddhiques se situent le long de la piste méridionale à Khotan, Lulan et Miran ; ils témoignent de l'existence d'une Communauté bouddhique importante et ce dès une haute époque. L'ouverture de la piste septentrionale, quelques siècles plus tard, assurera la prospérité des fondations religieuses de Tumshuk, Kucha, Turfan. . . Notre étude nous a permis de dégager les spécificités de construction de cette région et donc de comprendre le schéma d'évolution qu'ont suivi ses monuments bouddhiques en les comparant notamment à leurs modèles gandhariens, afghans et indiensThe Xinjiang possess a network of commercial roads linking China to the Occidental world, known as "Silk Road", whose two principal ways skirt around the North and South of Taklamakan Desert. This road has not only been used for the conveyance of merchandises or spices, but it has also allowed the spreading of religious doctrine like Buddhism. This religion introduce in Xinjiang during the lst B. C. And the lst A. D. , has given birth to a Buddhist civilisation, whose number of remnants have survived in spite of Chinese persecutions and the Muslim invasion. The older religious establishments take place along the southern road in Khotan, Lulan, Miran. They are proof of the existence of an important religious community from the High Time. The opening of the northern road some years later will secure prosperity of the religious foundations of Tumshuk, Kucha and others. With this study based on Buddhist monuments along the Silk Road, we have been able to show building specificities of this region, and to understand the evolution scheme of this constructions, by comparing them with their Gandharian, Afghan and Indian model

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has the two-fold purpose of describing and explaining institutional arrangements for natural resource management in an extensive pastoral area of western China. It makes an original contribution to knowledge in terms of the documentation of contemporary local-level pastoral tenure arrangements in a region and country where they have rarely been documented before. Originality also stems from the thesis' employment of the new institutional economics framework to explain pastoral tenure in general, and pastoral tenure in the economic, social and ecological context of western China in particular. A case study approach involving three pastoral villages, two Kazak and one Tuvan, is adopted. Methodologies include a semi-structured survey of 30% of households (201 in total) in the case study villages. Local-level institutional arrangements for natural resource management are characterised by community-based regulation, group tenure arrangements (despite the emphasis of grassland policy on the individualisation of tenure), and variation in the fuzziness of boundaries. While allowing for the possibility of some efficiency losses, the overall pastoral tenure situation is inconsistent with the common perception of it as a `tragedy of the commons'. The exclusivity of pastoral tenure arrangements across space/seasonis associatedw ith resource scarcity. The persistenceo f group tenure and, more generally, of community-based natural resource management, is due to the relatively -low cost of collective action coupled with the benefits derived, including: economies of size with respect to herd supervision; external and seasonal exclusion; and social insurance. a The above findings reinforce contemporary critiques of the evolutionary theory of land tenure and common property theory, and add a new dimension to the literature on property rights reform in rural China. The major policy implication is the need for an incremental, experimental and participatory approach to institutional improvement.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis tests the hypothesis that the use of multiple writing systems for Uyghur language in Xinjiang is due to differences in social practices which language users rationalise within the framework of main discourses on language use in the region. Xinjiang's Uyghur language community has experienced diverse linguistic influences over the past century, and language users in Xinjiang still face economic and political transformations, competing ideals of desired collective identity and demographic fluctuations, which cause Uyghur to be written in at least four different scripts and with many diverging orthographies. It tests this hypothesis by first looking at choices made in the process of designing writing systems for Uyghur, then examining the writing behaviour of users of different social demo graphics, before finally analysing the different discourses that run through the interviews I collected with users in Xinjiang in 2009. The thesis concludes that different scripts tend to be used in different domains, while younger users often use Latin versions of Uyghur script, while users based in more rural areas, and those educated in schools where Uyghur language is taught, will more often use the official Perso-Arabic script. It also examines the variation in orthographies used for writing Uyghur within the same script, and concludes that, while variation in orthographies can often be attributed to a user's educational background or hometown, diversity in script use is linked more to differences in age, languages spoken or domains of use. The thesis also determines that recurring discourses of language improvement, links to history, financial motivations, affirming a Uyghur identity and of modernisation are linked to people's choices for using a particular writing system, and the fact that users employ the same discourses to legitimise the use of different writing systems demonstrates why multiple writing systems are now in use in Xinjiang.

Full textAbstract:
La ricerca verte sulla metallurgia dell’Età del Bronzo nello Xinjiang (ca.2000-1000 a.C.). L’obiettivo è triplice: 1) indagare l’occupazione della regione da parte delle prime comunità dell’Età del Bronzo, in termini spazio-temporali, e delineare il contesto economico-culturale in cui la metallurgia si è sviluppata; 2) individuare i contributi apportati da influenze esterne riconoscendo, ove possibile, interazioni culturali tra le comunità dello Xinjiang e delle regioni circostanti (specialmente Asia Centrale, Siberia sud-occidentale e Cina); 3) fare luce sul ruolo dello Xinjiang nel sistema di scambi culturali in Eurasia durante l’Età del Bronzo. La ricerca è basata sull’analisi di quattro aree principali: gli Altai, le oasi di Hami e Turfan (chiamate “regione orientale”), la regione occidentale (che include le aree di Ili-Tacheng e Pamir) e il margine meridionale del bacino del Tarim. A ognuna di esse è dedicato un capitolo comprendente cinque sezioni: introduzione, assetto geografico (che include lo studio del paleoambiente e del paleoclima), contesto archeologico, metallurgia e riepilogo finale. Il capitolo conclusivo offre una mappatura e una descrizione delle comunità dell’Età del Bronzo nelle aree esaminate nonché una panoramica dettagliata dello sviluppo della metallurgia, dagli esordi alla fine dell’Età del Bronzo, in cui sono messi in luce contributi esterni ed evoluzioni locali. Infine, in base ai risultati dell’analisi, la ricerca si prefigge di delineare possibili meccanismi d’interazione tra le comunità dell’Età del Bronzo e le regioni circostanti, e altresì di proporre una reinterpretazione del ruolo dello Xinjiang nel sistema di scambi economico-culturali durante il secondo millennio a.C. in Eurasia.
The research focuses on Bronze Age metallurgy in the present-day Xinjiang Province (about 2000-1000 BC). The goal is threefold: 1) to investigate the occupation of Xinjiang by the early Bronze Age communities in terms of space and time, and to delineate the regional economic-cultural context, in which bronze metallurgy developed; 2) to identify contributions from external influences and to recognise, when possible, cultural interactions between the communities of Xinjiang and the surrounding regions (especially Central Asia, South-Western Siberia and China); 3) to shed light on the role of Xinjiang in the system of cultural exchanges in Eurasia during the Bronze Age. In order to reach these goals, four main areas have been analysed: the Altay, the Hami and Turfan oases (called “the eastern region”), the western region (which includes the areas of Ili-Tacheng and Pamir) and the southern rim of the Tarim Basin. To each of these regions is devoted a chapter, consisting of five sections: introduction, geographical setting (including the paleo-environment and the paleo-climate), archaeological context, metallurgy and summary. The conclusive chapter provides a map and description of the Bronze Age communities in the examined areas, as well as a detailed overview of the development of metallurgy, from the beginnings to the end of the Bronze Age, in which external contributions and internal evolutions have been highlighted. Finally, in light of the results of this study, this research aims to trace possible mechanisms of interaction between the Bronze Age communities and the surrounding regions, proposing a reinterpretation of the role of Xinjiang in the system of economic-cultural exchanges during the second millennium BC in Eurasia.

Full textAbstract:
The past decade has seen a transformation in the relationships among states in the Xinjiang-Central Asian region. The thesis is an analysis of this relationship, a relationship primarily built on economic and strategic interdependency. Within the thesis, the basis of the relationship is established; the extent of the relationship is ascertained, and the impact of this relationship is evaluated. The thesis differs from previous studies of this area in several ways. The most significant is that a group of Central Asian states and an autonomous region of China have formed into a unit of economic interdependency, which needs to be assessed as a group rather than as individual entities. Much of previous and recent scholarship tends to focus on issues within a particular country or part of a country, such as the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. However, it is my contention that this is not an adequate representation of what is occurring in the region today. The focus needs to be widened to take into account the dynamics of this interdependent relationship which consists of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and several of the former Soviet Union states, primarily Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. All of these states with the exception of Uzbekistan are contiguous with Xinjiang. This relationship of interdependency has reached a level sufficient to influence decisions taken by governments within the region, and a prime factor of this has been the suppression of secessionist movements, principally Uygur separatist movements, among the Uygur diaspora residing in neighbouring states. Another highly relevant issue the thesis evaluates is sources of tension within the Xinjiang-Central Asian region and the impact these tensions have on the interdependency relationship. An assessment is made as to whether because of this interdependency, the sources of tension may not be adequately addressed by the respective governments to the satisfaction of the general populace. This is seen as due to the individual governments' hesitation to upset China by addressing such matters as border demarcation and transboundary water diversion between China and neighbouring states. An outcome of this scenario may be that many of the tensions are left to simmer and therefore bode ill for future stability in the region. Fundamentally, the thesis argues that the matters raised in the previous paragraphs need to be assessed on the basis of an ongoing relationship of interdependency encompassing Xinjiang and several neighbouring Central Asian states. The overlapping of multiple sources of commonality such as geography, ethnicity, culture, religion, economics and strategic matters, dictates that we should not assess issues on a country-by-country basis. Rather, it is necessary to consider the region as a whole, taking into account the prevailing conditions emanating from this relationship of economic and strategic interdependency.

Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedThis thesis seeks to answer the question of how the Chinese governments policies towards the Uyghurs, a Turkic Muslim group living predominantly in the northwestern Chinese province Xinjiang, have influenced the political consolidation of the Uyghurs. Three aspects of this question will be explored Uyghur identity, interests, and Islamic mobilization. First, have Chinese policies helped to strengthen or weaken Uyghur identity Second, how have Chinese policies shaped Uyghur interests Finally, is there any evidence of Islamic radicalization and mobilization of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, evaluated in the context of Marc Sagemans theory on Islamic radicalization This thesis argues that the PRCs policies in Xinjiang have increased Uyghur solidarity socially but not politically. The Chinese policies have served to unintentionally unify the Uyghurs in opposition against a common adversary. Nevertheless, the PRCs overwhelming state capacity to repress Uyghur discontent has prevented the Uyghurs from achieving any significant form of political consolidation. Finally, there is very little evidence of Uyghur Islamic radicalization and mobilization. The situation in Xinjiang does not fit Sagemans theory on Islamic radicalization.

Notre projet consiste à rechercher et proposer des règles pour un développement durable à l'échelle d'une région. Au-delà des analyses des évolutions par des enquêtes sur place et des études des données statistiques et images, Il s'agit de réfléchir à cette notion de durabilité. La première partie consacre de longs développements au cadre général du Xinjiang, espace peu connu en Europe. Les évolutions des oasis, de leurs facteurs principaux sont analysés dans la deuxième partie. L'analyse d'image et les SIG complètent ces approches. La modélisation de la dynamique rurale par la programmation linéaire et la théorie du développement rural durable constituent le coeur de la troisième partie. Cette recherche est donc fondamentale, mais elle possède aussi une composante pratique non négligeable.

Full textAbstract:
The Central Asia Orogenic Belt is one of the largest accretionary orogenic belts in the world. In this belt, many sulfide‐bearing mafic‐ultramafic intrusions occur along faults, including the Kalatongke complex in southeast Chinese Altay and the Huangshandong intrusion in east Tianshan.
The Kalatongke complex is a composite body including ~308Ma dioritic intrusion and 287Ma sulfide‐bearing mafic intrusion. The dioritic intrusion consists of biotite‐hornblende gabbro, diorite and quartz diorite. This intrusion was formed from a mixture of an evolved mantle‐derived magma and a crust‐derived adakitic magma combined with fractional crystallization of clinopyroxene, amphibole and plagioclase. The mafic intrusion is dominantly made up of norite in which sulfide ores, including disseminated, massive Ni‐Cu and massive Cu‐rich ores, are hosted. This intrusion was formed from two different pulses of basaltic magmas that had different magma evolution histories. The early magma pulse reached sulfide‐saturation due to minor crustal contamination and a small amount of sulfide (<0.03%) was removed before the emplacement. The evolved magmas then entered a shallow magma chamber and assimilated crustal materials to attain sulfide‐saturation again. Sulfide liquids segregated from the magma to form massive Ni‐Cu and massive Cu‐rich ores through further fractionation and residual silicate melts formed norites. A second pulse of magma underwent removal of <0.02% sulfides with stronger crustal contamination, and re‐attained S‐saturation during the emplacement and became a phenocryst‐laden magma. This magma then intruded the earlier formed massive sulfide ores and norites, forming the disseminated sulfide ores.
The Permian Huangshandong mafic‐ultramafic intrusion hosts the largest magmatic sulfide deposit in east Tianshan. It consists of a layered unit of lherzolite, gabbro and diorite and a massive unit of olivine gabbronorite and gabbronorite. Both units formed from siliceous high magnesium basaltic (SHMB) magmas derived from a hydrous, depleted mantle source. The two units of the Huangshandong intrusion formed from magmas that have undergone different processes through the evolution of the magma plumbing system. The early magma pulse gained sulfur‐saturation before the emplacement and small amounts of sulfide (<0.03%) were removed to result in a PGE‐depleted, high‐Mg magma. This magma achieved sulfide‐saturation again in a staging magma chamber through crustal contamination and fractional crystallization of olivine and Cr‐spinel (an AFC process) to form the layered unit. A second magma pulse underwent fractionation of more olivine +/‐ Cr‐spinel but less sulfide (<0.003%) removal before the emplacement and became evolved, PEG‐undepleted and low‐Mg before the injection into the magma chamber. Mixing of the two magmas triggered sulfide‐saturation to form sulfide ores with variable PGE, Ni and Cu compositions.
The study suggests that SHMB‐like magmatism, produced by melting of depleted and hydrous mantle source, may be an important feature of orogenic belts. Mafic‐ultramafic intrusions formed from SHMB‐like magmas may host economic sulfide deposits, particularly sulfide Ni‐Cu sulfide deposits.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
The Qing conquest of 'Xinjiang' ('New Dominion' or 'New Territory') in 1759 proved to be a watershed development in the complex and often ambiguous relation between China and the amorphous Xiyu or 'Western Regions' that had lay 'beyond the pale' of Han Chinese civilisation since the Han (206 BCE-220 CE) and Tang (618-907) dynasties. The Qing destruction of the Mongol Zunghar state in the process of conquering 'Xinjiang' brought to a close the era of the dominance of the steppe nomadic-pastoralist world of Inner Asia over sedentary and agricultural China that had existed since at least 300 BCE with the expansion of the Xiongnu. Immediately following the conquest, as chapter two shall demonstrate, the over-arching goal of Qing rule in the region was to segregate Xinjiang from the Chinese regions of the empire. Yet, at the beginning of the 21st century the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) maintains that the 'Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region' (XUAR) is, and has been throughout recorded history, an 'integral' province of China. This thesis is thus focused on the evolution of the Chinese state's perception of Xinjiang as a dependent appendage in the late 18th century to that of an 'integral' province at the beginning of the 21st century. As such there are two key questions that are the focus of the thesis. First, how - by what processes, means and strategies - did Xinjiang arrive at its contemporary position as a province of the PRC? Second, how has this process impacted on China's 'foreign policy' along its western continental frontiers since the Qing conquest? The thesis is therefore not simply focused upon a discrete period or aspect of the historical development of China's interactions with Xinjiang, but rather an encompassing exploration of the processes that have resulted in China's contemporary dominance in the region. Two encompassing and related themes flow from these questions regarding the Chinese state's response to the dilemmas posed by the rule of Xinjiang. The first stems from the recognition that the present government of China's claims to the 'Chinese-ness' of Xinjiang are more than simply a statement of fact or an attempted legitimisation of current political realities. The statement that Xinjiang is an 'integral' province of the PRC, although indeed a statement of contemporary political reality, is also a profound statement of intent by the Chinese state. It is in fact one manifestation of an over-arching theme of integration and assimilation within the state's perceptions of Xinjiang across the 1759-2004 period. The second theme stems from the question as to how the processes associated with the first theme of integration and assimilation impacted upon the Chinese state's conception of its relation to those regions beyond its orbit. Xinjiang throughout most of Chinese history has been perceived as a 'frontier' region from which non-Chinese influences have entered and at times threatened the North China plain 'heartland' of Han civilisation. This is essentially a theme of confrontation between or opposition of 'external' to Chinese influences. The relationship between these two themes across the 1759-2004 period has been one of 'permanent provocation' whereby their interaction has produced mutual continuity and contestation. The Chinese state's goal of integration, and the concrete strategies and techniques employed in Xinjiang to attain it, have required the continued operation and vitality of opposing tendencies and dynamics. This process has provided (and continues to provide) both impetus and legitimation, in the perception of the state, for the exercise of state power in Xinjiang. Yet, as will become evident in the proceeding chapters, this interaction has not developed along a constant trajectory. Rather, the process has been characterised by fluctuations in the state's commitment to the goal of integration and in its ability to implement appropriate strategies with which to achieve integration. The thesis will thus argue that from the early 19th century onward the goal of integration became embedded in the state's perception of the 'correct' relation between itself and Xinjiang. Moreover, across the 1759-2004 period the notion of integration has evolved to become both the end and means of state action in Xinjiang.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Le bassin versant du Karakash est situé au Sud du Xinjiang, sur le piémont Nord du Karakorum et des Kunlun et au Sud du désert du Takla-Makan. Dans ce bassin, les inondations surviennent presque tous les ans, en été, détruisant les récoltes, principales sources de revenus pour une population essentiellement agricole et causent des dommages qui entravent le développement socio-économique. Notre recherche a pour but de contribuer à l’amélioration des conditions actuelles des inondations dans le bassin versant du Karakash. La première partie est consacrée aux inondations et à la description générale du Xinjiang et du bassin versant du Karakash. La seconde partie étudie les risques d’inondation dans le bassin versant du Karakash par l’application de la méthode hydrogéomorphologique qui délimite la zone inondable et appréhende les risques d’inondation. La troisième partie porte sur la prévision et la prévention des risques d’inondation. Elle investigue les mesures de gestion susceptibles de réduire le risque d’inondation. Notre travail démontre l’applicabilité de la méthode hydrogéomorphologique au bassin versant du Karakash. La cartographie hydrogéomorphologique fournit des informations suffisantes pour permettre aux aménageurs de la région du Karakash de réaliser une planification spatiale susceptible de prévenir et de réduire les risques d’inondation.

Full textAbstract:
Xinjiang is well known as a key part of the ancient Silk Road. Since the start of research on Xinjiang’s prehistory, the archaeological records have been dominated by burials. For a long period, studies of these burials have focused on grave goods, including typology, dates, and cultural exchange reflected by similarities of object forms and styles between different regions, while leaving mortuary practices and their implications for social and ideological dimensions largely overlooked.
In this thesis, burials dated to the late prehistoric period of Xinjiang (c. 3000−200 BCE) in the Northern Zhunge’er Basin, Upper Ili River Valley, Northern Tarim Basin, and Eastern Tianshan Mountain Region are studied from a regional perspective. These regions have diverse landscape, large numbers of excavated graves, and relatively complete cultural-historic sequences, providing optimal conditions for interregional comparison and diachronic observation. The core questions explored in this study are the vertical differentiation of mortuary treatment, change and continuity of burial customs in each region and their implications for social complexity and the behavior and ideology of living people who practiced the burial rituals. Multiple statistical methods are used to investigate the patterns of mortuary variables.
The results show that vertical differentiation in mortuary treatment varied greatly from one region to another. It emerged earlier and was much more dramatic in steppe areas than in oasis areas. Among different steppe regions, the emergence and degree of mortuary differentiation is also varied. There are differences between oasis and steppe areas in the variation of numbers of individuals per grave. Collective burials gained a varied degree of popularity in the oasis areas after the 1st millennium BCE, implying an increasing importance of expression of kinship in mortuary contexts. By contrast, the steppe areas either had few collective burials or saw a change from small-scale
collective burials to single burials between the 2nd and 1st millennium BCE. Rich burials were used to display the roles and status of individuals rather than the collective. Combining the results of burial analysis and available settlement materials, this study suggests that the development of social complexity was regionally imbalanced in Xinjiang during the late prehistoric period.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about education in Xinjiang, the choices available to students and parents, and the factors taken into account when making these choices. The subject of language tuition and use has increasingly assumed a central position in the resentment felt by much of the Uyghur population of Xinjiang towards the Chinese government and the Han population. The long-term, policy-driven increase in the use of Mandarin in schools in Xinjiang has accelerated in the last decade as those which have previously used the Uyghur language for the majority of teaching have steadily been converted into bilingual institutions. This change has significantly reduced the linguistic options for Uyghur parents, as ‘bilingual' schools are substantively similar to Chinese-language schools. Mandarin, as the primary language of government and trade in China, is widely recognised by Uyghur parents and students as essential to career success in contemporary Xinjiang and the Uyghur language is not existentially threatened. Nonetheless, this change is lamented by many, even those who chose bilingual or Chinese-language education for their own children. This ethnographic work, largely set in the regional capital of Urumqi, explores the disparity between materially self-interested choices and this sentiment. Contextualising the subject of education against the background of the Uyghur people's general interaction with the Chinese people and state, the thesis contends that there is a communally-maintained avoidance of all influences perceived to be Chinese, and that this avoidance is best understood in ethical terms. Utilising the work of Alasdair Macintyre (1981), it argues that the maintenance of difference from the Han, in the context of a narrative understanding of history which represents all Chinese influence as destructive or dangerous, has come to be understood amongst the Uyghur as virtuous in itself. With evidence drawn from 18 months of fieldwork in Xinjiang and interviews with parents, students and educators, it examines how attempts to maintain this virtue play out against other values and concerns in the choices they make about schooling.

La presente tesi affronta la questione relativa alla Regione Autonoma cinese del Xinjiang, l’area che occupa a livello geografico la zona più occidentale della Cina. Questa è una regione ricca di contraddizioni e problematiche sia dal punto di vista sociale che economico, poiché qui la popolazione è prevalentemente di etnia uigura e di fede islamica, e ad oggi il Xinjiang rimane una delle zone più povere della Cina. Proprio sulla base di queste contraddizioni si fonderà lo sviluppo della mia tesi che affronterà le questioni sotto il punto di vista dei media nazionali e internazionali, che si differenziano molto tra loro per l’approccio che ciascuno ha in relazione a ciò che sta succedendo nel Xinjiang. Infatti qui da alcuni anni, gli uiguri verrebbero maltrattati e monitorati nei così denominati “campi di rieducazione”, ovvero delle strutture in cui verrebbero internati, dal governo cinese, migliaia di uiguri al fine di essere rieducati sotto il punto di vista politico e culturale. Diversi di loro sostengono che questi luoghi siano molto simili a delle prigioni in cui verrebbe fatto loro il lavaggio del cervello affinchè abbraccino l’ideologia del Partito Comunista Cinese e abbandonino la loro fede islamica, vista dal PCC come una potenziale spinta verso il terrorismo. I media internazionali invece sostengono fermamente che il metodo utilizzato dal governo cinese contro gli uiguri non vada a rispettare i diritti umani degli stessi, e che questa paura del terrorismo sia semplicemente una scusa per affermare l’identità cinese anche sulle minoranze etniche all’interno della stessa Cina. Al fine di dimostrare che la Cina non stia rispettando totalmente i diritti umani degli uiguri, stia portando avanti con qualsiasi mezzo la desiderata unità nazionale, e che controlli in maniera massiccia l’informazione e la comunicazione, ho analizzato alcune delle più importanti testate nazionali ed internazionali per mettere a confronto le due visioni che si hanno in correlazione alla questione del Xinjiang.

Full textAbstract:
La Regione autonoma uigura dello Xinjiang, nota anche come Xinjiang, rappresenta da decenni una delle sfide più importanti per l'agenda politica cinese. Dal 1955 essa fa formalmente parte dello Stato cinese, tuttavia, le minoranze etniche che la abitano sono culturalmente molto lontane dalla cultura Han. Situato nella parte nord-occidentale della Cina, questo territorio costituisce un sesto del totale dello Stato cinese e la patria di diverse comunità di lingua turca che hanno goduto, per molti secoli, di grande autonomia politica ed economica, consentendo alla Regione di divenire un fondamentale snodo commerciale in Asia e un luogo di incontro di numerose civiltà e culture. Suddetta autonomia ha creato in queste comunità un forte attaccamento al territorio e il desiderio di indipendenza dalla Cina, portando il Partito Comunista Cinese a temere che il separatismo etnico potesse minare all’unità e alla sicurezza nazionale. Malgrado negli anni siano state adottate varie misure per combattere questo fenomeno, descritto da parte del Governo di Pechino come la ragione alla base di tali politiche, lo scopo di questa tesi è evidenziare l'importanza strategica dello Xinjiang nella politica estera e nazionale cinese, analizzando come gli interessi economici stiano avendo un impatto negativo sui diritti umani delle minoranze etniche che vivono in Cina, in particolare sugli Uiguri. L’ascesa economica e il fabbisogno energetico in costante aumento hanno costretto la Cina a espandersi sempre più e a cercare nuovi corridoi economici che potessero garantire l’approvvigionamento di materie prime in modo tale da sostenere la crescita economica del Paese. Lo Xinjiang rappresenta il corridoio principale in questa sfida e offre alla Cina una vera e propria porta verso l’Occidente. Queste caratteristiche lo rendono un tassello fondamentale nel progetto lanciato dal Presidente cinese Xi Jinping nel 2013. Noto con il nome di Nuova Via della Seta, esso venne descritto come un progetto per promuovere e rafforzare la cooperazione e per unire gli sforzi nella costruzione di una cintura economica. Le migliaia di chilometri di confine con ben otto Paesi asiatici e la presenza di ricchi giacimenti di gas e riserve petrolifere parrebbero suggerire quali siano le vere ragioni che hanno portato Pechino ad attuare le politiche necessarie per garantire il controllo sulla regione, i suoi corridoi economici e le sue risorse.

Full textAbstract:
The Qing conquest of 'Xinjiang' ('New Dominion' or 'New Territory') in 1759 proved to be a watershed development in the complex and often ambiguous relation between China and the amorphous Xiyu or 'Western Regions' that had lay 'beyond the pale' of Han Chinese civilisation since the Han (206 BCE-220 CE) and Tang (618-907) dynasties. The Qing destruction of the Mongol Zunghar state in the process of conquering 'Xinjiang' brought to a close the era of the dominance of the steppe nomadic-pastoralist world of Inner Asia over sedentary and agricultural China that had existed since at least 300 BCE with the expansion of the Xiongnu. Immediately following the conquest, as chapter two shall demonstrate, the over-arching goal of Qing rule in the region was to segregate Xinjiang from the Chinese regions of the empire. Yet, at the beginning of the 21st century the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) maintains that the 'Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region' (XUAR) is, and has been throughout recorded history, an 'integral' province of China. This thesis is thus focused on the evolution of the Chinese state's perception of Xinjiang as a dependent appendage in the late 18th century to that of an 'integral' province at the beginning of the 21st century. As such there are two key questions that are the focus of the thesis. First, how - by what processes, means and strategies - did Xinjiang arrive at its contemporary position as a province of the PRC? Second, how has this process impacted on China's 'foreign policy' along its western continental frontiers since the Qing conquest? The thesis is therefore not simply focused upon a discrete period or aspect of the historical development of China's interactions with Xinjiang, but rather an encompassing exploration of the processes that have resulted in China's contemporary dominance in the region. Two encompassing and related themes flow from these questions regarding the Chinese state's response to the dilemmas posed by the rule of Xinjiang.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, located in northwest China, is represented in tourism and geographic education literature. The research demonstrates the limited and distorted place narratives of Xinjiang that are promoted by the government-backed tourist enterprise in China for consumption by English language speakers; as well as, the inadequate and uncritical representations of the region currently available to students in the United States. Qualitative content analysis methodology is employed to investigate the narrative representations of Xinjiang contained within tourist brochures, geography textbooks, and regionally appropriate curricular guides. The thesis includes a body of geographic lesson plans pertaining to Xinjiang I created that are informed by the research results. The purpose of this thesis is to move toward a more nuanced understanding of Xinjiang as a dynamic region of global significance, challenge prevailing stereotypes of the region, and strengthen geography literacy, particularly among school aged students.

Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedTo decrease ethnic instability in Xinjiang, the Chinese government’s plan is to economically develop the region. Xinjiang is rich in natural resources, is geographically significant and has a special economic zone. China is also investing in Central Asia to further meet its energy demand. A network of pipelines and major rail systems connect sources from China to Central Asia and beyond. Xinjiang’s economy will benefit from the network because it is the gateway and corridor to Central Asia and a hub for the Silk Road traffic. This study suggests that Xinjiang’s economic development led to a few destabilizing elements, including Han migration, income disparity and employment discrimination. All of this is taking place while the government is also dealing with other cultural issues, such as religion and education. The author hypothesizes that China’s economic development plan in the Xinjiang Uyghur (or Uighur) Autonomous Region increases, decreases or is a subsidiary factor to ethnic instability. This paper argues that China’s economic development plan for Xinjiang affects ethnic stability in Xinjiang as a subsidiary factor.
