New Frontiers in China’s Foreign Relations [EPUB ebook] 
Zhongguo Waijiao de Xin Bianjiang

This book stands as a rebuke to any who would attempt to forward simplistic interpretations of Chinas rise. In place of parsimonious arguments, or an endorsement of any singular set of images (whether pacific or confrontational), it repeatedly calls attention to the remarkable complexity of Chinas emerging international profile. More specifically, the leading Chinese and American scholars working in the fields of Chinese foreign policy, international political economy, and national security, who contributed to this volume argue that while China appears to be entering a new era in its relationship with the outside world, such a development encompasses disparate, even contradictory, policies, and, as a result, there is a great deal of fluidity within Chinas place in world politics.
