[The] quality of the contributors and the editor's choice of essay topics make for a sophisticated volume for undergraduate and graduate students and some professional policy analysts."--Asian Affairs "This is a substantive contribution to the literature on Chinese foreign policy. . . . The volume is by far the best and most comprehensive study currently available on the ways in which the processes of foreign policy-making have been transformed in China during the reform period. It explains better than any previous work the complexities of the impact of economic interdependence on foreign relations. It exhibits all the strengths and few of the weaknesses of approaches to foreign policy that place most stress on decision-making processes. It deserves careful reading by students and practitioners alike."--International Affairs Zusammenfassung This is the most comprehensive, in-depth account of how Chinese foreign and security policy is made and implemented during the reform era.
