Abstract
Something happened because of the war. Scholars of the Qing agree that the fate of the dynasty was fundamentally altered by the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864). In the scramble to defend the empire, organizational and material resources were mobilized on a massive scale. Local actors that had not previously played a critical role in governance began to participate in more ambitious programs for defense, public services, and revenue rising. Across the post-Taiping Qing Empire scholars document broader engagement in local state activities and a multitude of public projects undertaken at the local level. They have generally interpreted the proliferation of ambitious local projects and the broadening of participation in their organization and management as a prelude to dynastic decline: a result of the weakening of the Qing state’s political capacity.
