Description

This Routledge publication examines China's military development through a doctrinal lens, moving beyond conventional materialist analyses to reveal the true dynamics of the world's largest army. As inter-state tensions reshape Asian regional politics, understanding Chinese military doctrine becomes essential for evaluating security implications across the region. The book argues that doctrine, long under-studied in military analysis, provides crucial context for assessing China's strategic readiness and future directions. Rather than relying solely on empirical observations, this work contextualises military power within doctrinal frameworks, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of how China's armed forces are structured, trained and positioned. It addresses the ongoing debates surrounding China's military modernisation and its consequences for Asia's balance of power, making it valuable for scholars, defence analysts and policymakers seeking to interpret contemporary Chinese military strategy.

Key Features

Routledge's in-depth analysis focuses on Chinese military doctrine as the key to understanding the world's largest army's development strategy.

The book contextualises military power within doctrinal frameworks rather than relying solely on conventional materialist approaches to analysis.

Part of the Cass Military Studies series, offering scholarly examination of military doctrine and its role in readiness assessment.

Addresses regional security implications for Asia as China's military capabilities continue to expand and evolve.

Examines how doctrine shapes military readiness and provides essential context for evaluating strategic directions in Chinese defence policy.
