About the Book
This textbook is designed as an introduction to the study of contemporary Chinese foreign policy. It examines the patterns of engagement with various domestic and international actors which have shaped Beijing’s foreign policy thinking since the end of the Cold War, and offers a combination of ongoing questions and trends in Chinese foreign policy, as well as an in-depth look at key points of China’s current foreign policy.
Bringing together the many different facets of China’s foreign interests, this volume presents a unified view of the country’s international affairs, and examines contemporary issues such as:
- the rise of globalization
- the increase in the number and types of international regimes
- modern security challenges
- bilateral versus multilateral approaches to international problem-solving
- the question of American hegemony
- changing linkages between the developed and developing world.
Chinese Foreign Policy will be of great interest to upper-level students of Chinese foreign policy, Asian security, comparative foreign policy and international relations, as well as professionals interested in China’s changing place in the world order.
