About this book

Bringing together Chinese and Western scholars of diplomacy, this book highlights the view that China's 'new' diplomacy is an instrument of foreign policy, a socialising process that fosters both positive and negative change and an important indicator of China's future role.

Reviews

"The careful observation and in-depth analysis in this volume is of great help for people to understand the relationship between China and the world as well as China s diplomacy since its reform and opening up." - Li Zhaoqing, former Chinese foreign minister

"This outstanding collection of essays, written by prominent scholars of China, Australia, and other countries, addresses the new diplomacy of China in recent years, discussing in a most comprehensive way the domestic and international factors that have helped shape China s diplomatic strategy and practices. China s New Diplomacy, with its excellent scholarship that is insightful, informative and well-balanced, is essential reading for anyone interested in China s foreign policy and diplomacy." - Wu Jianmin, former Chinese ambassador to France and the Netherlands
