China's role in the United Nations has been a significant one. Yet,
Samuel Kim contends, as far as the literature on Chinese foreign
policy is concerned, the People's Republic of China still remains
outside the heuristic framework of the global community. In a
comprehensive macro-analysis of Chinese global politics, Professor
Kim probes China's image and strategy of world order as manifested
through its behavior in the UN. The author draws upon a wide range
of previously untapped primary sources, including China's policy
pronouncements and voting record and over a hundred personal
interviews with UN delegates and international civil servants. He
finds that Chinese participation has made the United Nations not
only more representative but also more relevant as the global
political institution responding to the challenge of establishing a
more humane and just world order. Originally published in 1979. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
