The question of how China will relate to a globalising world is one
of the key issues in contemporary international relations and
scholarship on China, yet the angle of innovation has not been
properly addressed within the field. This book explores innovation
in China from an International Relations perspective in terms of
four areas: foreign and security policy, international relations
theory, soft power/image management, and resistance. Under the
complex condition of globalisation, innovation becomes a
particularly useful analytical concept because it is well suited to
capturing the hybridity of actors and processes under
globalisation. By adopting this theme, studies not only reveal a
China struggling to make the future through innovation, but also
call attention to how China itself is made in the process. The book
is divided into four sections: Part 1 focuses on conceptual
innovation in China's foreign and security policies since 1949.
Part 2 explores theoretical innovation in terms of a potential
Chinese school of International Relations Theory. Part 3 expands on
innovation in terms of image management, a form of soft power, in
particular how China exports its image both to a domestic and
foreign audience. Part 4 highlights how innovation is used in China
by grassroot popular groups to resist official narratives. This
book will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese
studies, Chinese foreign policy and international relations,
international relations theory and East Asian security.

This book offers an empirically rich study of Chinese nuclear
weapons behaviour and the impact of this behaviour on global
nuclear politics since 1949. China's behaviour as a nuclear weapons
state is a major determinant of global and regional security. For
the United States, there is no other nuclear actor - with the
exception of Russia- that matters more to its long-term national
security. However, China's behaviour and impact on global nuclear
politics is a surprisingly under-researched topic. Existing
literature tends to focus on narrow policy issues, such as
misdemeanours in China's non-proliferation record, the uncertain
direction of its military spending, and nuclear force
modernization, or enduring opaqueness in its nuclear policy. This
book proposes an alternative context to understand both China's
past and present nuclear behaviour: its engagement with the process
of creating and maintaining global nuclear order. The concept of
global nuclear order is an innovative lens through which to
consider China as a nuclear weapons state because it draws
attention to the inner workings -institutional and normative- that
underpin nuclear politics. It is also a timely subject because
global nuclear order is considered by many actors to be under
serious strain and in need of reform. Indeed, today the challenges
to nuclear order are numerous, from Iranian and North Korean
nuclear ambitions to the growing threat of nuclear terrorism. This
book considers these challenges from a Chinese perspective,
exploring how far Beijing has gone to the aid of nuclear order in
addressing these issues.
