The Making of Chinese Foreign and Security Policy in the Era of Reform
The Making of Chinese Foreign and Security Policy in the Era of Reform
This volume provides a look at the changes in the way Chinese foreign and security policy is made during the reform era, and the implications of those changes for China’s future behaviour on the international stage. Bringing together the contributions of more than a dozen scholars who undertook extensive field research in the People s Republic of China, South Korea, and Taiwan, the book is the most comprehensive, in-depth, and rigorous account of how Chinese foreign and security policy is formulated and implemented. Since the reform era began in the late 1970s, a new and ever-changing mix of forces has been reshaping Chinese foreign and national security policy-making institutions and processes. This volume examines those forces: bureaucratic politics and evolving organizations, changing elite views and skills, an altered domestic agenda, increasingly diverse social forces and public opinion, and the growing complexity of the international system itself, including globalization and multilateral regimes. The analysis goes one step further to look at specific foreign and security policy issues and relationships, including case studies dealing with Korea, Taiwan, the World Trade Organization, and arms control.
