The Domestic Sources of China's Foreign Policy (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

As China s political and economic influence in the world is rapidly increasing, it is essential to understand how China s domestic politics affects its foreign political and economic policy. This book offers an accessible, informative and up-to-date systemic analysis of the foreign policy of China. Where mainstream literature on international relations usually suggests that China s foreign policy is primarily determined by external factors, such as the international system and external settings, this book demonstrates instead that domestic factors profoundly shape China s foreign policy from the late Mao s era to the reform era. It demonstrates how China s foreign policy is driven by the preservation of political and economic regimes; the political survival of the top leader; the top leader s vision for, and skills in, managing external affairs; the leader s policy priorities; dramatic events and the process of policymaking. It presents its argument in-depth analysis of major cases of Chinese foreign policy for example, China s difficult relations with Southeast Asia; China s 15-year accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO); China s oil diplomacy in the recent decade, and the diversified process of foreign policy making in the twenty-first century.
