China's Quest: The History of the Foreign Relations of the People's Republic, revised and updated
Autor John W. Garveren Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iul 2018
The evolution of the the People's Republic of China in world politics is an epic story and one of the most important developments in modern world history. Yet to date, there are no authoritative histories of China's foreign relations. John Garver's monumental China's Quest fills this lacuna and draws from memoirs by Chinese leaders and diplomats, including those written by several foreign ministers, as well as significant new archival material. Garversituates the history of PRC foreign relations in a central drama of the 20th century: the rise and fall of Communist ideology. This new and revised edition includes an additional chapter and new analysis, which address China's strategies in the aftermath of the Western economic crisis, Xi Jinping's embrace ofassertive nationalism, the "China Dream" and restoration of China's leading global status, and the "One Belt, One Road" and "communities of common destiny" initiatives. The summation of Garver's fifty-year study of Chinese foreign relations, China's Quest is an expansive and conceptually powerful resource for everyone interested in China's role in the world.

John
Garver

an
admirable
antidote
to
China's
increasingly
one-sided
propaganda
about
the
glorious
history
of
its
foreign
policy.
This
easy-to-read,
wide-ranging
book
avoids
polemics
and
arms
readers
to
refute
distortions
with
well-balanced
arguments
backed
by
carefully
marshaled
evidence.
Those
looking
for
a
single
overview
that
does
not
hesitate
to
address
today's
most
contentious
themes
are
likely
to
find
satisfaction
in
this
book."
China's Quest lives up to the definitive comprehensiveness suggested by its subtitle. This superb, lengthy volume knits together thick descriptions of events in China from 1949 until today into a clear, compelling narrative."
The culmination of a career of prodigious scholarship, this magnum opus consolidates John Garver's position as a leader in the field of modern china's foreign relations. Featuring fresh analyses that challenge conventional wisdom, the book provides answers to many puzzles from the past and explores vexing questions of Beijing's contemporary policies. All scholars and practitioners serious about understanding the People's Republic of China's long and tortuous ascent to global power status must read this epic study."
The history of Chinese foreign policy from 1949 to today may look like a bewildering series of ideological twists and turns. But Garver's clear-eyed narrative shows that Beijing always pursued the regime's survival interests and the country's strategic interests, in the face of challenges that shifted from American anti-communism to Soviet anti-Maoism to American democracy promotion. His book provides an essential foundation for understanding the motives of Chinese foreign policy past, present, and future."
In China's Quest, John W. Garver distills a lifetime of learning into crystalline form. He emphasizes the communist leadership's instrumental use of assertive nationalism as a primary means for legitimating its authoritarian Leninist-style rule in the process of China's ascent to its present status as a global power."
