(3) This is a chapter on combining historical and anthropological methods and perspectives in studying transnational economic relations. It is part of a special issue I have co-edited on the intersection of social/cultural anthropology and contemporary history,
in which each article has been co-authored by an anthropologist and a historian. This one is on Switzerland and China:</div>
