China Debates Its Global Role
What do Chinas scholars make of the nature of Chinas global rise? And what is the significance of academic debates for Chinese policy goals and preferences?
In this book, leading Chinese specialists outline how their colleagues are studying and interpreting different dimensions of Chinas evolving global role, opening these Chinese language debates to a new audience. Collectively they show that while some ideas and ways of thinking are more prominent than others, there is no homogeneity of scholarship and no single conception of what China thinks and wants. Not only has the range of issue areas under discussion actually increased as Chinas global role and impact has changed, but there also remains considerable diversity when it comes to thinking about what China can, might, and should try to do as a global power, and how Chinas global role should be studied and theorized.
The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal, The Pacific Review.
