While they similarly strive for recognition by Western academics, they do not seriously engage with each other. To the extent that either succeeds in winning recognition, it ironically reproduces Western centrism and the binary of the Western versus the non-Western. In \u003ci\u003eRelations and Roles in China''s Internationalism\u003c\/i\u003e, author Chih-yu Shih demonstrates, through a critical translation exercise, that Confucian themes enable both the critique and realignment of liberal thought, allowing all of us, including the members of Confucianism and the neo-liberal order, to understand how we adapt to and coexist with each another. In the end, Confucianism not only informs the pluriversal necessity that all are bound to be related but also de-nationalizes China''s internationalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039827853655,"sku":"9781438498874","price":72.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/relations-and-roles-in-chinas-internationalism-9781438498874","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
