"Uncertainty in the Empire of Routine: The Administrative Revolution of the Eighteenth-Century Qing State" by Maura Dykstra explores the bureaucratic practices of the Qing state in the 18th century, focusing on the empire's extensive documentation and reporting requirements. Dykstra argues that the proliferation of bureaucratic reports led to an appearance of corruption and decline, ultimately contributing to the downfall of the Qing dynasty. The book delves into the challenges faced by officials in producing and managing vast amounts of documentation, shedding light on the complexities of administrative practices in Qing China.
