China's Foreign Relations and Security Dimensions

China is the world's second largest economy and a key player in world politics. This book looks at China's foreign policy from a macro perspective. It analyses China's peripheral and regional policy as well as its relations with other major powers - India and Russia. It offers insight into the historical security concerns of China and the linkages of internal domestic issues with external diplomacy which reshape its relations with neighbouring countries. The volume also examines President Xi Jinping's foreign policy orientations and aspirations for future. In face of growing global concern on China's hegemonic ambitions in the region, the book gauges the tensions between China and Japan in the South China Sea as well as the apprehensions of several smaller Asian countries that may perceive China's strategic and geo-economic advantages and military strength as a threat. This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of China studies, politics, foreign policy, international relations, military and strategic studies, defence and security studies, area studies, and political studies.
