Shaping China’s Future in World Affairs
Shaping China’s Future in World Affairs by Robert G. Sutter, published by Taylor & Francis Group on May 7, 2019, is a 200-page exploration of Chinese foreign policy and its implications for global relations. The book examines the evolution of China’s role in world affairs, particularly in light of its recent historical context and the shifting dynamics of its economy and society. Sutter discusses the potential directions that post-Deng leadership may take, emphasizing the complexities of U.S.-China relations and the influence of U.S. policy on China’s international positioning.
In this edition, readers will find a thorough analysis of the interplay between China’s growing economic and military power and its foreign policy strategies. Sutter argues that while many foreign powers are inclined to accommodate China, the sensitivity of various issues in U.S. policy could significantly impact China’s future actions on the global stage. The book delves into themes of political science and international relations, providing insights into the uncertainties that characterize U.S. foreign policy in the post-Cold War era and how these uncertainties may affect the trajectory of China’s engagement with the world.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book considers Chinese foreign policy and China’s future role in world affairs in the context of the country’s recent past. Robert Sutter shows that although it appears to be in U.S. interests for post-Mao leaders to continue moving toward international norms, a post-Deng leadership backed by growing economic and military power and reflecting profound changes in China’s economy and society could move in markedly different directions. Most foreign powers appear willing to accommodate China, avoiding actions that could prompt a sharp shift in Chinese foreign policy, but Sutter argues that current U.S. policy intrudes on so many issues that are particularly sensitive for Beijing and for China’s future that it represents perhaps the most critical variable determining how China will position itself in world affairs. Concluding that there is no guarantee the United States will use this influence wisely, Sutter examines the uncertainty and unpredictability of U.S. foreign policy in the post-Cold War environment that work against the creation of an effective U.S. policy toward China.
