"This book examines these new developments in Chinese foreign policy, and recommends a new approach to the study of great power development, using tools gathered from international institutional cooperation and development. In contrast to recent works on Chinese foreign policy, which have placed an emphasis on material goods and powers, this work will suggest an alternative approach to the 'rise of China' question, relevant not only to comparative politics but also the international relations of great powers." "This book will be of great interest to students of Chinese politics, Asian security studies and international relations in general as well as to policymakers."--BOOK JACKET.
