THE
"In this balanced and sensible analysis, Stuart Harris offers a clear and engaging account of China's foreign policy and the internal and external pressures its leaders face. Impartial and non-alarmist in its discussion of the so-called China threat, this book will serve instructors and students admirably."
Andrew J. Nathan, Columbia University
"A thoughtful, comprehensive and well-written analysis of the multiple domestic and international sources of Chinese foreign policy and of China�s policy toward the United States, its Asian neighbours, and international institutions and norms. It is an admirably balanced account that places Chinese policy in the context of Chinese culture, history, national interests and its improving economic and military capabilities and in the context of the patterns of behaviour of other countries."
Robert Ross, Boston College
"Harris� book, is well and fluently written, organized, informative and very comprehensive in terms of including many aspects of China�s foreign policy and makes a valuable contribution to the field of International Relations, particularly Chinese Studies."
