This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Volume II of his study, Rising China and Its Postmodern Fate, Charles Horner continues his examination of how China's continuously changing view of its modern historical experience is also changing its understanding of its long intellectual and cultural tradition. He reflects on China's current rise, not as an anomaly, but as part of a long tradition of dramatic transformations and he therefore looks at many different Chinas as they interact with various world systems and ever-changing trends. He sees China's formation of its future Grand Strategy as a creative intellectual activity which draws on the strategic imagination that can be found in history, literature, art, architecture and urban planning. This paperback is also available in hardback.

Book Synopsis Rising China and Its Postmodern Fate by : Charles Horner
Download or read book Rising China and Its Postmodern Fate written by Charles Horner and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's sense of today and its view of tomorrow are both rooted in the past--and we need to understand that connection, says China scholar Charles Horner. In Rising China and Its Postmodern Fate, Horner offers a new interpretation of how China's changed view of its modern historical experience has also changed China's understanding of its long intellectual and cultural tradition. Spirited reevaluations of history, strategy, commerce, and literature are cooperating--and competing--to define the future. The capstone of modern China was the founding of the People's Republic in 1949 and its rejection of Confucianism, capitalism, and modernity. Yet today's rising China retains few vestiges of what Mao wrought. What then, Horner asks, is post-Mao, postmodern China? Where did it come from? How did it get here? Where is it going? Contemporary views of the great periods in Chinese history are having a significant influence on the development of rising China's national strategy, says Horner. He looks at the revival of interest in, and changing interpretations of, three dynasties--the Yuan (1272-1368), the Ming (1368-1644), and the Qing (1644-1912)--that, together with the People's Republic of China, provide examples of great power success. The future of every major country is now connected to China's, and this book explains how China, now seeing itself as the complex and thriving result of the old and the new, is poised to change the world.

Book Synopsis A China Scholar's Long March by : Charles Horner
Download or read book A China Scholar's Long March written by Charles Horner and published by Merwinasia. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A China Scholar's Long March is a collection of forty-seven pieces written between 1978 and 2015 by Charles Horner, a China Scholar, a former U.S. government official, and the author of the two-volume work Rising China and Its Postmodern Fate. The pieces originally appeared in general interest publications such as The American Interest, The National Interest, and Commentary; in newspapers like the Wall Street Journal; and in some more specialized periodicals such as China Heritage Quarterly and the Naval War College Review. Together, the pieces are an unfolding story. "Americans are not given to introspection, "Horner comments, "but to enthusiasms, including the prospect for permanent harmony between the United States and China." "In the disputes that went on in China--between 'radicals' and 'pragmatists, ' we used to hope for the victory of the moderates, the less ideological, the more practical. We must now begin to think about the consequences of living with what we have wished for." When Horner wrote this, he also noted that American strategic analysis of the highest order was only beginning to sense a coming United States-China contest. Years later, that contest, with all of its dangers and uncertainties, is now upon us. -- Back cover
Book Synopsis The US Policy Making Process for Post Cold War China by : Wenzhao Tao

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining a study of American Think Tanks and a study of American diplomatic policy on China following the Cold War, this book explores in detail the policy-making process, procedures and mechanisms, as well as the roles of various interest groups in the policy-making process for China-related policies. Further, it dissects the policy-making process with regard to selected sensitive policies, such as the US diplomatic policy on Taiwan, China; US trade policy on China; US human rights policy on China; and US environmental and energy policy on China; and analyzes the function and influence of the American Think Tanks in the policy debates. Characterized by its high theoretical value, wealth of historical materials and painstaking analysis, the book is not only of important academic value but also offers a valuable reference guide to support the practical work of related departments in the Chinese government.
Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Soft Power by : Naren Chitty
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Soft Power written by Naren Chitty and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Soft Power is the first volume to offer a comprehensive and detailed picture of soft power and associated forms of public diplomacy. The terms soft power and public diplomacy have enormous currency in media and policy discourse, yet despite all the attention the terms remain conceptually ambiguous for analysts of international influence. The consequence is that the terms have survived as powerful, yet criticized, frames for influence. Divided into two main parts, Part I outlines theoretical problems, methodological questions, the cultural imperative and the technological turn within the study of soft power and Part II focuses on bringing the theory into practice through detailed discussion of key case studies from across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. This innovative handbook provides a definitive resource for students and scholars seeking to familiarize themselves with cutting-edge debates and future research on soft power and will be of interest to those studying and researching in areas such as international relations, public diplomacy and international communication.

Book Synopsis China's Peaceful Rise in a Global Context by : Jinghao Zhou
Download or read book China's Peaceful Rise in a Global Context written by Jinghao Zhou and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-04-02 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's potential threat to the existing global order is not derived from her rapid economic growth and military expansion, but from China's potential domestic chaos. The workable solution of China's democratization under the current Chinese political system is not to dissolve the Communist Party of China, but to begin with freedom of media, religion, and citizen participation.
Book Synopsis China’s peaceful rise by : Christopher Herrick
Download or read book China’s peaceful rise written by Christopher Herrick and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting a constructivist approach, this book argues that China's prospects for achieving 'great power' status peacefully depend more on perceptions of the country's development than on concrete measures of power or economic benefits. Incorporating historical perceptions, survey data and general analysis, the authors explore Chinese foreign policies in international organisations, international trade, security relations and as a model for global governance, as well as the reactions to those policies within the context of China's relations with Asian neighbours (India, Japan and the states of South-east Asia), existing international powers (the European Union, Russia and the United States), and emergent trading partners (Africa).
Book Synopsis Does War Make States? by : Lars Bo Kaspersen
Download or read book Does War Make States? written by Lars Bo Kaspersen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arising from renewed engagement with Charles Tilly's canonical work on the relationship between war and state formation, this volume situates Tilly's work in a broader theoretical landscape and brings it into contemporary debates on state formation theory. Starting with Tilly's famous dictum 'war made the state, and the state made war', the book takes his claim further, examining it from a philosophical, theoretical and conceptual view, and asking whether it is applicable to non-European regions such as the Middle East, South America and China. The authors question Tilly's narrow view of the causal relationship between warfare and state-making, and use a positive yet critical approach to suggest alternative ways to explain how the state is formed. Readers will gain a comprehensive view of the most recent developments in the literature on state formation, as well as a more nuanced view of Charles Tilly's work.

Book Synopsis A Novel Approach to China by : Gengsong Gao
Download or read book A Novel Approach to China written by Gengsong Gao and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores Chinese novelists’ distinctive contributions to the China debate in terms of the key issues of Chinese language, power dynamics and Confucian tradition. As China is rising, Chinese scholars and policymakers are debating heatedly over China’s past, present and future. Who are the major debaters? How do they analyze China’s problems and figure out solutions? What are the main achievements and weaknesses of the Chinese intellectual debate and discourse? Chinese novelists also get involved in the China debate. However, their voices are rarely heard. This book argues that, by dramatizing the diversities of ordinary social actors’ everyday languages, active discursive practices and enchanted local traditions, Chinese novelists do not merely illustrate the dominant liberal, the New Left and the New Confucian ideologies, but enrich the China debate and provide a “novel” approach to our understanding of modern China.
