This textbook is an introduction to the study of contemporary Chinese foreign policy. Examining the patterns of engagement with various domestic and international actors that have shaped Beijing¡¦s foreign policy since the Cold War, it explores a series of ongoing questions and trends, as well as offering an in-depth look at key points of China¡¦s current global relations.

Bringing together the many different facets of China¡¦s foreign interests, the volume presents a comprehensive overview of the country¡¦s international affairs, covering such key issues as:

  • the rise of globalization
  • the country¡¦s bilateral and multilateral approaches to international problem-solving
  • the increase in the number and types of international regimes
  • modern security challenges
  • the question of American hegemony
  • Beijing¡¦s changing political, strategic and economic linkages with the developed and developing world.

Chinese Foreign Policy will be of great interest to upper-level students of Chinese international relations, Asian politics, comparative foreign policy and international relations, as well as professionals interested in China¡¦s changing place in the global system.
