'The book gives a breath of fresh air in theory building and in empirical analysis of China's regional behaviour around the world. It suggests that China not only socializes itself into the existing regional norms and rules, but also socializes other countries into China's practice - Do as China does! A stimulating read.' Gerald Chan, University of Auckland, New Zealand 'This volume does more than simply review Beijing's policies, it explains the complexity and contradictions inherent in China's understanding of regional diplomacy. The authors expertly show how China's regional efforts differ from patterns established by Western nations. Anyone interested in the impact of China's growing economic power, military capability, and diplomatic clout will benefit from this unique volume.' Steven Phillips, Towson University, USA 'China's astonishing economic growth has long featured in international news agendas, as have issues related to climate change and the environment. Kavalski's collection addresses an equally important, but often overlooked phenomenon: China's unique approach to global politics. The range of contributors is impressive, with perspectives from different continents and disciplines.' Alan Hunter, Coventry University, UK 'We talk incessantly about the Internet and the global integration of finance, trade and even security. But what if it's not all coming together? Here is a prescient book that explores a parallel political universe - a "globalization" with China at the center.' William W. Keller, University of Pittsburgh, USA 'Overall, this volume is a good source for scholars, students as well as policy makers, who seek a deeper understanding of the current global politics of regionalisation and the role of China in it. It is also essential reading for those who are interested in the application of analytical models of regionalism and regionalisation in a non-Western case other than the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. In this respect, Kavalski and the authors who contribute to this volume have stepped outside the box and engaged in a wider discussion of different aspects of China's practice of regionalisation and its transformative power in the global politics of regionalisation.' Europe-Asia Studies '...this book represents a major contribution to the literature on China's regionalisation and deserves to be widely read. Otherwise, we may continue to deprive ourselves of a useful lens to process, or even predict, the dynamics of China's regionalisation in the 21st century.' Australian Journal of Political Science 'I found this book to be an important contribution to the literature of global political-economy. It collects the views of some renowned scholars in the area. It tells what drew them to the subject, and how they view their own contributions to the discipline and where they see the field of international political economy of new regionalism is going, especially in terms of open questions and answers.' East Asia Integration Studies 'Overall this volume provides substance to the literature of regionalization and is worth exploring for readers intrigued by China's rapid development and its impact via regionalization around the globe.' Journal of Chinese Political Science
Reseña del editor:
This volume examines the prominent role of China in global politics and the relevance of the 'new regionalism' paradigm to China's international outreach. It provides a comprehensive and critical assessment of China's impact on the global politics of regionalization, offers a novel application of analytical models, investigates the aspects of the Chinese practice of regionalization that set it apart, and demonstrates China's transformative potential in international life. Addressing the need to 're-Orient' the research and policy agenda of international relations, this comprehensive study demonstrates both the lack of language to engage with existing norms and standards and the difficulty of applying them to an evaluation of the global politics of China's 'non-Western' international agency.
