`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.' The Australian Journal of Chinese Affairs
