'This volume is a major step forward in the outside world's understanding of how Chinese society affects the substance of Chinese foreign policy and the process by which it is made. The contributors collectively present a sophisticated look at how the media, individuals, localities, nationalism, and globalization all shape the evolving policies governing the relationship between China and the rest of the world.' David M. Lampton, Johns Hopkins University, USA 'This timely study explores and exposes a range of domestic influences on China's foreign policy making...the contributions to this volume show the diverse range of mediums and mechanisms by which institutions, individuals, and localities have input into the process.
