Museums, International Exhibitions and China's Cultural Diplomacy
examines the role museums and, more specifically, international
exhibitions, have played in shaping China's international image to
date. Drawing on theories and methods from museum studies and
international relations, the book evaluates the contribution
international exhibitions make to China's cultural diplomacy
strategy. Considering their impact on the country's international
image, Kong also probes the mechanisms and processes involved,
examining in detail the policy of, and international activities
promoted by, the Chinese government. The book also analyses the
motives of the Chinese and overseas museums that host these
exhibitions. Taking some major exhibitions that were on show in the
UK during the 21st century as a representative case study, the book
reveals the mechanisms by which these exhibitions were developed
and shared overseas. Questioning who really shapes the image of
China, Kong challenges Western assumptions and looks ahead to
consider whether, moving forward, the Chinese government and
museums could work together in a mutually beneficial way. Museums,
International Exhibitions and China's Cultural Diplomacy
contributes to the growing literature on museums and diplomacy. As
such, it will be of interest to academics and students engaged in
the study of museums and heritage, international relations,
culture, politics, China and wider Asia.
