DESCRIPTION:This panel uses a transimperial (Hedinger and Née) framework t
 o analyze the relationship between the British and Qing empires across dis
 tinct frontiers over the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth cent
 uries. The bilateral framing of the topic may seem to obviate the analytic
 al purchase of “transimperial\,” which draws attention to networks of 
 multiple imperial formations and actors who operated at the interstices of
  empire. In fact\, the papers illustrate that this relationship was never 
 purely bilateral. Rather\, it was conditioned by a diverse range of Qing\,
  British\, and other subjects acting on a complex range of localized inter
 ests that never neatly aligned with metropolitan concerns. Moreover\, inte
 ractions with other imperial rivals\, like Japan and Germany\, and local p
 olities shaped the Anglo-Qing relationship in different ways across these 
 various “contact zones” (Pratt). Exploring this relationship across tr
 ans-Himalayan\, littoral\, and inland Chinese frontiers using disparate\, 
 multilingual archives underscores the fragmentary nature of this bilateral
  relationship. However\, it also provides opportunities to observe how the
  inter-regional circulation of personnel and information shaped imperial a
 gents’ negotiation of challenges that were simultaneously local and embe
 dded in broader dynamics. Our papers pay particular attention to the devel
 opment of strategies to\, in turns\, limit\, harness\, and stimulate comme
 rcial activity and assert jurisdictional claims over subjects. Rather than
  abandoning the bilateral framing of Anglo-Qing relations\, we use a trans
 imperial and multi-frontier framework to develop an understanding of this 
 relationship rooted in these localities as opposed to London\, Beijing\, o
 r the better-studied treaty ports.
