China in World Politics Policies, Processes, Prospects, 2nd Edition

Praise for the 1st edition:

"Faust and Kornberg's book is a welcome addition to a field crowded by much more narrow and less balanced works.... provides an accessible guide to negotiating the difficult terrain of Chinese foreign policy."?Randy Kluver, China Information

"A comprehensive review of the past, present, and future foreign relations of China."?George P. Jan, China Review International

"To a remarkable extent the authors succeed in what they set out to do, namely, to introduce students to the history of China's foreign relations, its changing policy opportunities and dangers, and the domestic and external factors that may affect and shape Beijing's future decisions.... the book covers all the key issues in admirably clear and accessible style."?Samuel S. Kim, China Quarterly

"An excellent textbook for students of Chinese politics and foreign policy."?Sheng Lijun, The China Journal

This fully revised and updated text introduces students to China's foreign policy, past and present, and the factors that may influence the country's future policy agenda. Exploring the new dynamics of China's regional and international roles, the authors outline the political, security, economic, and social issues the country faces in the emerging 21st century.

Each chapter of the book familiarizes students with the Chinese framework for analyzing the issues in question. Alternate policy choices are suggested, along with supporting data for each course of action. Discussion and essay questions, as well as suggested readings and a bibliography of internet resources, are also included.
