International Relations of China

To say that the rise of China has captured the popular attention is something of an understatement. Hardly a day goes by without the publication of a new study that confidently predicts China's future -- be that a focus on internal challenges and potential collapse, or China's rise to inevitable global dominance. The aim of this eight-volume collection is to provide, in a single resource, an overarching view of the totality of China's place in the world -- why it matters, what forms it takes, how it is studied, where it came from and where it is going. In this new major work, the international team of editors have created a carefully balanced collection of seminal publications from leading scholars from both inside and outside of China, introduced by a newly-written chapter contextualizing the diverse perspectives on China's changing global role they represent. Volume One: Theoretical Perspectives Volume Two: Making Foreign Policy Volume Three: China and "Traditional" Partners -- the Developed World and (South)East Asia Volume Four: China and the Developing World Volume Five: National Security and Territorial Issues Volume Six: China and the Global Economy Volume Seven: Global Governance Volume Eight: China Challenges and Global Issues
