The major purpose of this book is to provide an introduction
to contemporary Chinese foreign affairs and international
relations. However, it also provides an overview of Chinese
security environment and current trend of international
politics. The specific content of the book naturally reflects my
own methodological, theoretical, and pedagogical convictions. I
believe that good foreign policy analysis combines the objectives
and the methods of both the scientific and the humanistic
approaches to political analysis. I have given some attention to
normative analysis as well.
This book is the product of a research project conducted under
the auspices of National University research program of Tongji. It
was made possible by the generous financial support of 985 program
of Chinese Ministry of Education. I have benefited from workshops
held at SAIS, the Johns Hopkins University, University of Chicago,
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and James Baker
Institute of Rice University. I thank for participants in these
workshops for their insightful and helpful comments on the project.
I should also like to express my deep gratitude for the sincere
assistance from Professor Walter Andersen, and Dr. Steve Lewis.
