This insightful book explores how Chinese scholars shape foreign policy and offers a deep understanding of China's global perspective.

This book examines the perspectives of its contributors, who draw from both first- and second-hand experiences within the scholarly debates of International Relations (IR) in China. It addresses two pivotal questions: How does China perceive the rest of the world, and to what extent do Chinese IR scholars influence the foreign policy and outlook of Beijing? By analyzing the contributions of various scholars, the book provides a nuanced understanding of China's international stance.

To explore how China views the global landscape, the contributors delve into the work of Chinese scholars in the field of IR. This inquiry leads to a deeper investigation into the influence these scholars have on the foreign policy decisions made in Beijing. The authors share their insights and experiences, contributing to a comprehensive picture of the interplay between academia and policy-making in China.

The book discusses key elements of China's foreign policy, including its perception of the international structure, the projection of soft power, maritime disputes, and the principle of non-interference. Chinese Scholars and Foreign Policy serves as an invaluable resource for global IR scholars, particularly those interested in understanding and anticipating China's actions and reactions concerning various international issues.
