Johnston wants to identify the working parts of the causal mechanism. But rather than emphasizing pressure from other states or changing strategic interests to explain decisions to join security regimes, Johnston focuses on the social learning that takes place when policymakers interact with representatives of other states.\"--Andrew J. Nathan, Foreign Affairs \"Johnston offers his arguments in a very cautious way, with meticulous care given to theory and methodology, thereby setting a standard that is rarely found in the current body of literature on the subject... Johnston has certainly published an excellent book, that shows how cutting-edge research can be conducted by exploring in great depth an inter-disciplinary area to help shed new light on Chinese foreign policy. The book's narrow focus on security institutions makes it well-defined; we may hope that Johnston will find it worthwhile to go beyond this in future work.\"--Gerald Chan, The China Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcronyms vii  Acknowledgments xi  Preface xiii  CHAPTER 1: Socialization in International Relations Theory 1  CHAPTER 2: Mimicking 45  CHAPTER 3: Social Influence 74  CHAPTER 4: Persuasion 155  CHAPTER 5: Conclusions 197  References 213  Index 241","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403754316119,"sku":"9780691134536","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691134536.jpg?v=1730484448","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/social-states-china-in-international-institutions-19802000-9780691134536","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
