Being the most active field in modern physics, Optical Physics has
developed many new branches and interdisciplinary fields
overlapping with various classical disciplines. This series
summarizes the advancements of optical physics in the past twenty
years in the following fields: High Field Laser Physics, Precision
Laser Spectroscopy, Nonlinear Optics, Nanophotonics, Quantum
Optics, Ultrafast Optics, Condensed Matter Optics, and Molecular
Biophotonics.
Despite its increasingly secure place in the world, the People's
Republic of China remains dissatisfied with its global status. Its
growing material power has simultaneously led to both greater
influence and unsettling questions about its international
intentions. China also has found itself in a constant struggle to
balance its aspirations abroad with a daunting domestic agenda.
This authoritative book provides a unique exploration of the
complex and dynamic motivations behind Beijing's foreign policy.
The authors focus on China's choices and calculations on issues
such as the ruling Communist party-regime's interests,
international status and image, nationalism, Taiwan, human rights,
globalization, U.S. hegemony, international institutions, and the
war on terrorism. Taken together, the chapters offer a
comprehensive diagnosis of the emerging paradigms in Chinese
foreign policy, illuminating especially China's struggle to
engineer and manage its rise in light of the opportunities and
perils inherent in the post-cold war and post-9/11 world.
This book offers a systematic study of China's great-power
diplomacy under President Xi Jinping. It critically applies the
Chinese concept of 'strategic opportunity', which is defined by the
national ambitions as set by the ruling communist party leadership,
the opportunities and risks presented in the international
environment, and the policy instruments at the nation's disposal.
Applying the dynamic concept, the book identifies key Chinese
beliefs that seek to best match its resources with its policy ends
and investigates policy patterns in China's management of
competition with the United States, the Belt and Road Initiative,
economic statecraft, regional and global institutional orders, and
its multipolar diplomacy. Taking seriously China's choice, Yong
Deng challenges the mainstream structural analysis in International
Relations that focuses merely on rising powers' insecurity and
discontent in the international system. His study shows how the
world's leading contender to, and major stakeholder in, the world
order actually evaluates, and actively seeks to control, its
international environment.

China and East Asian Strategic Dynamics: the Shaping of a New
Regional Order, edited by Mingjiang Li and Dongmin Lee, examines
how China's remarkable economic growth and its proactive diplomatic
efforts in recent years have not only shored up its importance in
global issues, but also induced a transformation of the strategic
dynamics in East Asia. The authors argue that major power relations
in the region appear to be driven by some new momentum along with
the changing international environment. The contributors of this
edited volume are well-known scholars in their areas of specialty,
and the book is divided into five parts. The first part discusses
China's soft and hard power in East Asia. The second examines China
and the strategic interactions between major powers; this
particular section is devoted to discussion on the strategic
responses of the major regional powers-the United States, Japan,
Korea, India and ASEAN-to China's rise. Part three focuses on
China's strategic approach to East Asian regionalism. Of particular
note are China's active leadership role in institution-building
efforts, strategic calculations, and preference for an informal
approach. The fourth section analyzes the Cross-Taiwan Strait
relations and their impact on both China and East Asia. The final
section of China and East Asian Strategic Dynamics addresses the
issue of China and maritime order in East Asia. China and East
Asian Strategic Dynamics: the Shaping of a New Regional Order,
edited by Mingjiang Li and Dongmin Lee, is a pioneering work. Given
that the rise of China is a prominent issue in politics and
economics worldwide, this edited collection is essential for a wide
audience of policy-makers, academics, and students alike.

Soft power has become a very popular concept in international
affairs, appearing in government policy papers, academic
discussions, and the popular media. In China, soft power has become
one of the most frequently used phrases among political leaders,
leading academics, and journalists. Defined against hard power,
which often involves threat and coercion, soft power applies
attraction, persuasion, and cooperation, finding its sources in
culture, political values, and foreign policies. China, rich in
culture and traditional philosophy, boasts abundant sources of soft
power. Soft Power attempts to analyze the domestic and
international views of China's soft power, the main strengths and
weaknesses of China's soft power, and the application of soft power
in China's international politics. It provides a comprehensive
exploration of the soft power dimension in China's foreign
relations by integrating views from various disciplines, such as
history, education, culture, political economy, comparative
politics, and philosophy. The book argues that soft power has
become a very popular concept in China, that China is contemplating
and exploring an innovative strategy in its rise and international
politics, and that there have been quite a few notable elements of
this in China's diplomatic practice, including softer rhetoric,
promotion of the Chinese culture abroad, economic diplomacy, and
image building. The book also argues that the limitations of
China's soft power primarily stem from political values and China's
own transitions, and reflects the reality that views and opinions
regarding China's soft power are fairly diverse both in China and
in the international arena.

perspective by which to understand Chinese foreign policy and the
future evolution of China's role in international politics. This
study is a pioneering work, providing a new perspective for the
study of Chinese foreign policy and the rise of China that will
appeal to scholars of Chinese foreign policy
At the end of the Cold War the People's Republic of China found
itself in an international crisis, facing severe problems in both
domestic politics and foreign policy. Nearly two decades later,
Yong Deng provides an original account of China's remarkable rise
from the periphery to the center stage of the post-Cold War world.
Deng examines how the once beleaguered country has adapted to, and
proactively realigned, the international hierarchy, great-power
politics, and its regional and global environment in order to carve
out an international path within the globalized world. Creatively
engaging with mainstream international relations theories and
drawing extensively from original Chinese material, this is a
well-grounded assessment of the promises and challenges of China's
struggle to manage the interlacing of its domestic and
international transitions and the interactive process between its
rise and evolving world politics.
