Open-access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295748207 At the beginning of
the new millennium, the Chinese government launched the Great
Opening of the West, a development strategy targeted at remote
areas inhabited mainly by indigenous ethnic groups. Intended to
modernize infrastructure and halt environmental degradation, its
tactics in western China have resulted in the displacement of
pastoral Tibetans to urban residence and sedentary livelihoods,
causing massive social and economic shifts and uncertainty and
eventually leading to signs of discontent in ethnically Tibetan
regions. Based on more than a decade of fieldwork, Exile from the
Grasslands documents the viewpoints of both the people
affected-Tibetan pastoralists in Qinghai Province-and the Chinese
officials charged with relocating and settling them in newly
constructed housing projects. As China's international influence
expands, the welfare of its ethnic minorities and its handling of
environmental issues are receiving close media scrutiny. Jarmila
Ptackova's study documents a politically and ecologically
significant process that is happening-unlike events in Lhasa or
Xinjiang-largely outside the view of the wider world.
This edited volume presents the results of a three-year comparative
study on Chinese cultural diplomacy (CD) across Europe, Central
Asia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, which contributes to the
broader theoretical debate on China`s increasing soft power in
international relations. The study, 'China's Cultural Diplomacy and
the Role of Non-State Actors' was conducted by a research team at
the Oriental Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech
Republic from 2015 to 2018. This book pays special attention to
China's localized forms of CD, focusing on the regional variations
and involvement of non-state actors, especially local actors
outside China. Local actors involved in Chinese CD diplomacy are
characterized by their intermediary status as working for the aims
of two states, while trying to bridge conflicts and enhance mutual
understanding. This book will be of interest to scholars,
diplomats, and China watchers.
