How do aspiring and established rising global powers respond to
conflict? Using China, the book studies its response to wars and
rivalries in the Middle East from the Cold War to the present.
Since the People's Republic was established in 1949, China has long
been involved in the Middle East and its conflicts, from exploiting
or avoiding them to their management, containment or resolution.
Using a conflict and peace studies angle, Burton adopts a broad
perspective on Chinese engagement by looking at its involvement in
the region's conflicts including Israel/Palestine, Iraq before and
after 2003, Sudan and the Darfur crisis, the Iranian nuclear deal,
the Gulf crisis and the wars in Syria, Libya and Yemen. The book
reveals how a rising global and non-Western power handles the
challenges associated with both violent and nonviolent conflict and
the differences between limiting and reducing violence alongside
other ways to eliminate the causes of conflict and grievance.
Contributing to the wider discipline of International Relations and
peace and conflict studies, this book will be of interest to
students and scholars of peace and conflict studies, Chinese
foreign policy and the politics and international relations of the
Middle East.
