Description - China's Security Interests in the Post Cold War Era by Russell Ong
This book analyses China's security interests in the post-Cold War era by adopting a broader concept of security. It examines the military, political and economic dimensions of security; and China's reactions to changes in the security environment in Northeast Asia. The book concentrates on the economic and political aspects of China's security agenda, which have, to a certain extent, been given less prominence in most security studies on China. One distinctive feature of the book, therefore, is to add to both academic and policy research more analysis on the economic and political aspects of China's security in the post-Cold War era, examining from a Chinese perspective issues such as the collapse of communism, the alleged western strategy of 'peaceful evolution', and China's economic relations with South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and the United States. The more traditional security issues, such as the diminished Russian threat, North Korea's enduring importance, the rise of Japan, the 'Taiwan Independence' challenge and the perception of American hegemony, are also addressed.It is argued that China seeks comprehensive security in the post-Cold War era, and indeed the concept of security must be widened in Security Studies and International Relations.
This book will be of interest to the general reader of international relations as well as academics and policymakers.In particular, it will be of great interest to those specialising in the international relations of Asia-Pacific and Chinese foreign policy.
