China and the Global Politics of Regionalization [PDF ebook] 

This volume examines the prominent role of China in global politics and the relevance of the ”new regionalism” paradigm to China”s international outreach. It provides a comprehensive and critical assessment of China”s impact on the global politics of regionalization, offers a novel application of analytical models, investigates the aspects of the Chinese practice of regionalization that set it apart, and demonstrates China”s transformative potential in international life. Addressing the need to ”re-Orient” the research and policy agenda of international relations, this comprehensive study demonstrates both the lack of language to engage with existing norms and standards and the difficulty of applying them to an evaluation of the global politics of China”s ”non-Western” international agency.
