The Routledge Handbook of Politics in Asia is designed to serve as
a comprehensive reference guide to politics in Asia. Covering East,
South, Southeast, and Central Asia, this handbook brings together
the work of leading international academics to cover the political
histories, institutions, economies, and cultures of the region.
Taking a comparative approach, it is divided into four parts,
including: A thorough introduction to the politics of the four
regions of Asia from the perspectives of democratization, foreign
policy, political economy, and political culture. An examination of
the "Big Three" of Asia - China, India, and Japan - focusing on
issues including post-Mao reform, China's new world outlook, Indian
democracy, and Japanese foreign policy. A discussion of important
contemporary issues, such as human rights, the politics of the
internet, security, nationalism, and geopolitics. An analysis of
the relationship between politics and certain theoretical ideas,
such as Confucianism, Hinduism, socialist constitutionalism, and
gender norms. As an invaluable and all-inclusive resource, this
handbook will be useful for students, scholars, researchers, and
practitioners of Asian politics and comparative politics.
Until this book, there has been no comprehensive, methodologically
aware study of all aspects of Chinese political culture. The book
is organized into three major areas: Chinese identities and popular
culture (regional identities, anti-politics attitudes, Hong Kong
identity); public opinion surveys (the Beijing area, Chinese
workers, the Shanghai area); and ideological debates (the "new"
Confucianism, masculinity and Confucianism, why authoritarianism is
popular in China, the decline of Chinese official ideology). Here
is the first work that reveals just how much, how rapidly, and how
dramatically China is changing and why our perceptions of China
must keep pace.

Given the impressive growth in East Asia after World War II,
initially led by Japan, the region's development models have been
scrutinized since the 1980s. The shared Confucian cultural
heritage, strong government guidance, and export led economies were
often cited as contributors to the impressive growth. However,
major changes have taken place in Asia on and around the turn of
the century: Japan experienced two decades of economic slow-down,
while World Bank figures reveal that China is poised to become the
largest economy in the world in 2014, overtaking the United States.
Bearing this in mind, is it even possible to formulate an East
Asian development model in the context of a shifting twenty-first
century? And if so, what is it? This book addresses this issue by
looking at the economic, political and cultural perspectives of
China, Japan and South Korea, focusing on dynamism and potential
consensus regarding an East Asian development model. The chapters
offer a historical background to the East Asian development model,
as well as in-depth case studies of each of the countries concerned
to show that whilst the East Asian development model does have
distinct characteristics as compared with other areas, and other
countries may draw some insights from the East Asian experience, it
is not a panacea that fits all circumstances and fits all times.
This book will be welcomed by students and scholars of Asian
economics, Asian politics, international political economy and
development studies.

This is the first comprehensive study by the world's leading
scholars about the political logic of the U.S.-China trade war that
started during the Trump administration. The book is divided into
three parts. The first part looks at changed leadership styles of
the two countries in the last few years. It also examines the
liberal international order since World War II in which the trade
war emerged. It then explores the theoretical perspectives from
both the United States and China that are related to the trade war.
The second part is about the domestic factors that impacted on the
trade war from China's perspective. These factors include China's
institutional adaptation of the new international environment, the
radicalization of the Chinese political discourse, and Big Power
Diplomacy. The third part explores the U.S. domestic factors that
impacted the trade war, such as the Trump administration's
different China policy in general, the role played by the U.S.
Congress, business lobby, and the transition of foreign policy from
a Wilsonian World Order to Jacksonian Nationalism.
For the past several decades, China has been transforming itself
from an isolated and backward agrarian society into an economic
superpower with global interests and responsibilities. Over 300
million Chinese have been lifted out of poverty and China now
enjoys the fastest growing and third largest economy on earth. Not
surprisingly, numerous changes in China's foreign relations have
accompanied the astounding transformations in the country's
domestic politics and society. Perhaps most surprising to some
observers is Beijing's aggressive foray into the so-called
developing world. This co-edited book focuses on China's increasing
engagement with many of the less developed countries-particularly
those in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Central Asia and
the Middle East-and explores the current and future trends in
Beijing's foreign relations. The old and hackneyed call for
revolutionary struggle and world revolution has been consigned to
the dustbin of history. In its place is a concrete pledge to
construct a 'win-win' relationship with any country willing to
deepen ties with Beijing. Dancing with the Dragon will help readers
gain a greater understanding of China's foreign relations in this
critical part of the global community.
New Dimensions of Chinese Foreign Policy is an in-depth analysis of
China's new place in international affairs. Taking Hu Jintao's
proposal for "peaceful development" as a starting point, the
contributors in this volume examine the new trends of thought in
the fourth generation of Chinese policymakers. Special emphasis is
placed on US-China relations. Editors Sujian Guo and Shiping Hua
have assembled a list of contributors many of which are Chinese or
Chinese-American scholars with thorough knowledge of changes in
Chinese foreign policy and their implications for the world. The
essays contained in this volume cover a comprehensive breadth of
topics, including: China's changing ideology in foreign policy,
Chinese elite perspectives on the rise of China, the political
orientations of the emerging elite, social dimensions of China's
power status, "soft power" management, approaches to the North
Korean nuclear issues, Middle East foreign policy, entry into World
Trade Organization and foreign trade policy, changing attitudes
toward international regimes, and the implications of China-U.S.
interdependence. The insightful contributions of New Dimensions of
Chinese Foreign Policy is essential reading for any student or
researcher of contemporary Chinese politics.
