Since the mid-1990s, the Chinese authorities have gradually come to
embrace multilateralism to realize their basic foreign policy
objectives in maintaining a peaceful international environment and
enhancing China's international status and influence. This embrace
is largely based on pragmatic considerations. There is no denial,
however, that elements of liberalism and constructivism gradually
enter into the considerations of Chinese leaders. They accept, for
example, that non-traditional security issues can only be tackled
through genuine multilateralism. This volume carefully examines
China's increased participation in multilateral organizations and
mechanisms and its efforts to initiate and develop its own
discourses on global affairs straddling Asia, the Middle East,
Africa and the Latin American continents. China's presence in
international multilateral organizations has been providing
developing countries a better chance to maintain a balance of
power. Since China has no ambitious plan to transform the existing
international order, its increasing enthusiastic engagement of
multilateralism is likely to be accepted by the international
community.
