`Chinese Foreign Policy contains much incisive writing ...
excellent book.'
Times Literary Supplement
'This is, perhaps, the best single text on Chinese foreign policy
that I have read. The editors are to be congratulated on the
conception and execution of this volume ... the strength of this
volume is its comprehensiveness. There is barely an aspect of
China's foreign policy-making that is not considered in some depth
... this is a volume which is not only a lollipop for the
specialist (I had fun jhust reading the footnotes), but also
demands to be in
paperback for teaching purposes.'
Paul Wingrove, University of Greenwich, International Affairs
`Well-written essays ... This comprehensive and well-organized book
is likely to be consulted for years to come ... The volume ranges
widely yet systematically over its broad, elusive topic.'
Free China Review
`This is an impressive and invaluable book. This volume shows how
important and fruitful it is to adopt an interdisciplinary approach
to the study of Chinese foreign policy. The book has made a
significant contribution to our understanding of both China's
foreign relations and the state of the art of Chinese foreign
policy studies, and will undoubtedly become a major work of
reference for students and scholars of contemporary China for some
time to
come.'
Political Studies
`Anyone seeking a clearer understanding of China's place in the
world would benefit from this volume, which is based on a
conference held in August 1990, bringing together some fo the
leading specialists in the field ... The coverage is
impressive.'
Survival
`The book is an entirely worthwhile read for anyone who seeks a
better understanding of why the bureaucrats in Beijing do the
things they do.'
Eastern Express
`Seeks to clear up any misunderstandings and guide the reader
step-by-step through the hows and whys of China's foreign policy.
The book is the first comprehensive discussion of the prime
motivators behind China's relations with the world ... The book is
an entirely worthwhile read for anyone who seeks a better
understanding of why the bureaucrats in Beijing do the things they
do.'
Eastern Express
`Certain to shape and define future research on China's foreign
relations and could be used concurrently in undergraduate and
graduate courses. Especially useful for students is David
Shambaugh's bibliographical essay on research sources in his
volume's appendix.'
Pacific Affairs
`The healthy differences between these two scholars reflect the
richness in style of the whole volume and the high degree of
sophistication of its twenty-two studies by experienced scholars
... every essay in the book provides important scholarship on
China's foreign policy and on the development of foreign
perceptions of China.'
