This book examines Republican China's diplomatic strategies and
engagement, and power reconfiguration in East Asia after 1914.
Drawing on a vast trove of primary sources, including newly
declassified archival materials, the book offers not only a
richly-informed account of how the Beiyang government conducted
diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference but also new insights into
why. Calling into question such long-held beliefs that the Beiyang
government was inadequately prepared for the Conference, was
treasonous in urging the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, and
that its behavior at the Conference amounted to a thorough failure
of diplomacy, the author tries to make a case for a much more
nuanced re-interpretation and re-evaluation of this critical period
in the country's diplomatic history.
