For several years now, Xinjiang has been the subject of a global debate focusing on ethnicity and human rights issues. Accusations of genocide have been made. This volume aims to broaden the view of Xinjiang from an academic perspective. It includes historical and geopolitical background information as well as recent findings. In doing so, the entire Xinjiang discourse in the Western media cannot be viewed in isolation from general China policy and the new `system rivalry’ between `the West’ and `the autocracies’.
