This volume provides a unique look at the changes in the way
Chinese foreign and security policy is made during the reform era,
and the implications of those changes for China's future behavior
on the international stage. Bringing together the contributions of
more than a dozen scholars who undertook extensive field research
in the People's Republic of China, South Korea, and Taiwan, the
book is the most comprehensive, in-depth, and rigorous account of
how Chinese foreign and security policy is formulated and
implemented.
Since the reform era began in the late 1970s, a new and
ever-changing mix of forces has been reshaping Chinese foreign and
national security policy-making institutions and processes. This
volume examines those forces: bureaucratic politics and evolving
organizations, changing elite views and skills, an altered domestic
agenda, increasingly diverse social forces and public opinion, and
the growing complexity of the international system itself,
including globalization and multilateral regimes. The analysis goes
one step further to look at specific foreign and security policy
issues and relationships, including case studies dealing with
Korea, Taiwan, the World Trade Organization, and arms control.
The volume addresses itself to policy-makers in both the public and
private sectors, as well as scholars of China and international
relations. It concludes that China's foreign and national security
policy making, as well as its behavior abroad, is largely shaped by
the forces of globalization, decentralization, pluralization, and
professionalization. But the book also shows how the enduring power
of Chinese decision makers and their national interest focus also
mould China's behavior, notably in crises and in major strategic
decisions. Looking to the future, the book suggests that the forces
of change in the Chinese system offer the possibility, though not
the certainty, that China may increasingly fit more comfortably
into the international system in the years ahead, though not
without frictions and mishaps.
