Opis

This book examines China's conduct in its maritime disputes in order to analyse Beijing's foreign policy intentions in general.

Recenzje

'Declining to treat China as sui generis, Chan argues in China's Troubled Waters that we can look to general theories of international relations, cross-national patterns of behaviour, and historical parallels to advance our understanding of the Chinese case.'
