Description

Chinas diplomatic strategy has changed dramatically since the mid-1990s, creating both challenges and opportunities for other world powers. Through a combination of pragmatic security policies, growing economic clout, and increasingly deft diplomacy, China has established productive and increasingly solid relationships throughout Asia and around the globe. Yet U.S. policymakers are just beginning to comprehend fully these critical changes. Here, noted China analyst Bates Gill provides a coherent framework for understanding Chinas new security diplomacy and guiding Americas China policy forward.

Reviews

"[Gill's] analysis is based on solid research and deep knowledge of Chinese thought
and behavior, and when the Chinese fail to meet his standards for constructive
behavior, he does not hesitate to take them to task for it." Foreign Affairs

"This is a significant book. It pulls together a comprehensive argument that only lies
scattered in a multiplicity of other places. Gill's concluding policy recommendations
are balanced and sound." David M. Lampton, Johns Hopkins UniversitySAIS

"This important study is clearly organized, well written, and well documented; it is
sure to be read widely." Journal of Asian Studies
