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.

With chapters examining critical issues such as:

  • Statecraft and party
  • The Belt and Road Initiative
  • Diplomacy and Security in the Asia Pacific
  • China-US relations
  • The South China Sea

This book will provide new theory to policy-makers and prove an invaluable guide to students and scholars of Chinese politics, international relations theory, diplomacy, global studies and international relations.
