 Free Download Doug Smith, Michael E. Clarke, "China's Frontier Regions: Ethnicity, Economic Integration and Foreign Relations" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1784532584 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.5 mb China has traditionally viewed her frontier regions-Zxinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia and Yunnan-as buffer zones. Yet their importance as commercial and cosmopolitan hubs, intimately involved in the transmission of goods, peoples and ideas between China and it west and southwest has meant they are crucial for China's ongoing development. The resurgence of China under Deng Xiaoping's policy of 'reform and opening' has therefore led to a focus on integrating these regions into the PRC (People's Republic of China). This has important implications not only for the frontier regions themselves but also for the neighbouring states, with which they have strong cultural, religious, linguistic and economic ties. China's Frontier Regions explores the challenges presented by this integrationist policy, both for domestic relations and for diplomatic and foreign policy relations with the countries abutting their frontier regions.

 Free Download G. W. Choudhury, "China in World Affairs: The Foreign Policy of the PRC Since 1970: The Foreign Policy Of The Prc Since 1970" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367018993 | EPUB | pages: 320 | 0.4 mb This up-to-date textbook reviews China's foreign policy goals since the PRC's active reemergence in world affairs following the Cultural Revolution of 1966-1969. Drawing on original sources and firsthand experience, as well as on a broad academic background, Dr. Choudhury examines China's global policy, diplomatic options, and strategy in the context of the triangular relationship of Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. His discussion-offering numerous unexpected insights-covers China's quest for security, the breakthrough in China-U.S. relations, the course of Sino-Soviet rivalry (particularly in the Asia-Pacific region), the PRC's role in the United Nations since 1971, how China has championed Third World countries, and the new, dynamic elements in post-Mao Chinese foreign policy. The book is current through the summer of 1981.  Free Download Fokke Obbema, "China and the West: Hope and Fear in the Age of Asia" English | 2015 | ISBN: 178453384X | EPUB | pages: 320 | 0.5 mb China sees its relations with the West as absolutely crucial to its future. This wider relationship, between the new world and the old, is changing the global political and economic landscape. But can Europe and China overcome their cultural and political differences to develop a relationship of trust? Here, experienced journalist Fokke Obbema travels through Europe and China and speaks with dozens of entrepreneurs, students, experts and politicians. He shows how mutual relations are affected by a feeling of superiority on both sides, and sheds light on the thousands of interactions between people in finance, politics, economics and education. Above all he shows how a fear of China has permeated the discourse, and that we should instead take a balanced view of the future of China relations, even be excited by the change which is coming. Apart from anything else, the west could be on the brink of another financial disaster - What if the Chinese Don't Come?
 Free Download Suisheng Zhao, "China and East Asian Regionalism: Economic and Security Cooperation and Institution-Building" English | 2015 | ISBN: 1138852449 | EPUB | pages: 232 | 0.9 mb To convey the image of a responsible power willing to contribute to regional stability and cooperation, China has shifted from a single-minded preference for bilateralism to an active participation in East Asian regionalism in the recent decades. This development has inspired discussions over whether a rising China could play a leadership role in building an institutionalized architecture for regional cooperation in East Asia. Nevertheless, this has not happened as East Asian regional cooperation and relevant activities remain mostly ad hoc and informal, especially when compared to regions such as Europe.  Free Download China and America's Spheres of Influence: Tipping Points to Decide a New Cold War English | 2025 | ISBN: 9811296588 | 410 Pages | PDF (True) | 12 MB The ability to exercise influence across continents through trade and empire has played an increasingly central role in determining great powers' geopolitical standings since the onset of the colonial era. In both the World Wars and in the Cold War, ensuring that the bulk of the global economy contributed to the war efforts of the established powers, while isolating the rising powers that challenged them, was key to determining the conflicts' outcomes. China and America's Spheres of Influence places the current multi-faceted contest for global influence in historical context, highlighting how and to what ends both countries have been able to leverage different kinds of influence - whether sway over oil producing countries, a larger global military footprint, or control over key financial institutions.  Free Download Shahid Yusuf, Tony Saich, "China Urbanizes: Consequences, Strategies, and Policies" English | 2008 | pages: 230 | ISBN: 0821372122 | PDF | 1,1 mb The key challenges facing China in the next two decades derive from the ongoing process of urbanization. China's urbanization rate in 2005 was about 43%. Over the next 10-15 years, it is expected to rise to well over 50%, adding an additional 200 million mainly rural migrants to the current urban population of 560 million. How China copes with such a large migration flow will strongly influence rural-urban inequality, the pace at which urban centers expand their economic performance, and the urban environment. The growing population will necessitate a big push strategy to maintain a high rate of investment in housing and the urban physical infrastructure and urban services. To finance such expansion will require a significant strengthening and diversification of China's financial system. Growing cities will greatly increase consumption of energy and water. Containing this without at the same time constraining the economic performance of cities or the improvement in the standards of living will call for enlightened policies, strategies, careful urban planning, and significant technological advances. This volume identifies the key developments to watch and discusses the policies which would affect the course as well as the fruitfulness of change.  Free Download Lowell Dittmer, "China Under Reform" English | 2018 | ISBN: 0813311195, 0813311209 | EPUB | pages: 228 | 0.5 mb In the face of the demise of communism elsewhere, China's unique combination of economic reform and political dictatorship has kept the country intact. Yet Lowell Dittmer questions the ability of this fragile structure to withstand future tremors. In this book, Dittmer convincingly shows how, although the revolutionary impulse has largely been forgotten, it continues to disrupt, inspire, and otherwise shape the reform effort.

And what is the significance of academic debates for Chinese policy goals and preferences?  Free Download Amighini Alessia, "China: Champion of (Which) Globalisation?" English | 2018 | ASIN: B07FCRTMDX | EPUB | pages: 143 | 0.8 mb This year marks the 40th anniversary of China's reforms and opening up. In four decades, China has learned how to grasp the benefits of globalisation and has become a world economic champion. As the world's second-largest economy, today China is no longer the factory of the world but an industrial power aiming at the forefront of major high-tech sectors, in direct competition with Europe and the US. In sharp contrast with Trump's scepticism on multilateralism, President Xi has renewed his commitment to growing an open global economy. But what does globalisation with Chinese characteristic look like? Is Beijing offering more risks or more opportunities to both mature and emerging economies? To what extent is China willing to comply with international rules and standards? Is Beijing trying to set its own global rules and institutions? Is the world destined to a new model of economic globalisation detached from political and cultural openness? |
