This book explores how fundamental aspects of China’s rapidly evolving arena of international relations theory are emerging directly from the realms of practice and policy.
As a unique explanation of the Chinese School by those actually making the decisions, assisted and researched in collaboration with eminent global scholars, the book guides the global reader through the building of Chinese international relations theory and how China may be accounted for, behaviour predicted and useful policy developed.
