In a relatively short period of time, the study of China's
international relations has gone from being a topic that interested
a fairly small group of scholars and analysts to one that is close
to - if not actually at - the centre of academic and policy
agendas. Moreover, it is not just the importance of these relations
that have changed, but also their type and scale. China's relations
with the USA and questions of 'great power' politics may continue
to dominate, with relations with the rest of Asia coming a close
second; but economic interactions, and their political
consequences, with countries in Latin America, the Middle East and
Africa are also becoming increasingly important, and have
implications far beyond the price and distribution of key
commodities. Following an introductory overview of the nature of
China's international relations and diplomacy, this handbook is
divided into three main sections: Part I: Ideas and Interests -
changes in theoretical thinking on international relations in
China; how ideas are transmitted into the policy-making community;
the role of public opinion. Part II: Issues - major concerns and
objectives that shape China's international relations; historical
legacies; sovereignty; energy; human rights; peace-keeping and
international responsibility; military modernization. Part III:
Relations - case studies of relations with the USA, Japan, East
Asia, Europe, the Shanghai Co-operation Organization, the Middle
East, Africa, Latin America, South Asia and Australasia. For some,
China's rise suggests an inexorable momentum towards instability
and conflict. Conversely, others (including most of the authors in
this handbook) point to the steps China has taken to conform to
existing norms and expectations of 'great power' responsibility. In
spite of these disagreements, there seems to be a growing consensus
that how China defines and pursues its national interests will
become the key determinant of how the global system evolves in the
future.
