MACMILLAN China in International Society Since 1949 - Book

Understand the evolution of Chinese foreign policy through a new lens. This book offers a reinterpretation of China's international relations from 1949 to the present. By applying the theory of international society, the text provides a systematic examination of how China has interacted with the global community of states. Readers will trace the historical journey of China, starting from its period of alienation during the 1950s and 1960s. The narrative then moves into the era of political socialization and economic integration seen in the 1980s and 1990s. This transition helps explain the forces that drive Chinese foreign policy behavior today. This work is an essential resource for those studying global politics and history. It presents a fresh perspective on how China's unique relationship with the international system has been built and how it continues to shape the country's role on the world stage.
