Contemporary China: An Introduction to Study of International Regions
This book offers a groundbreaking exploration of area studies, marking the first comprehensive volume in China addressing both theoretical and empirical dimensions of this field. Edited by Professor Zhang Yunling and translated into English by Professor Wang Liqin, the book compiles contributions from distinguished scholars across various Chinese universities and research institutions. Published initially in Chinese in 2022, it aligns with the Ministry of Education's 2021 initiative to pioneer area studies in China, ushering in a 'golden age' for this discipline. This volume provides an interdisciplinary framework essential for understanding the complexities of international regions. It systematically defines key concepts, explores research methodologies, and distinguishes between region-based and nation-based studies. The book delves into themes of politics, economy, culture, and governance, tracking the emergence, growth, and disappearance of international regions, and analyzing their interconnectedness and governance. With a rich array of extended readings, it serves as a vital resource for students and scholars of area studies, international relations, and political science.
The Long Game
In The Long Game, Rush Doshi demonstrates that China is in fact playing a long, methodical game to replace America as a global hegemon. Drawing from a rich base of Chinese primary sources, including decades worth of party documents and memoirs by party leaders, he traces the basic evolution of Chinese strategy, showing how it evolved in response to changes in US policy and the US's position in the world order.

The Sociology of Chinese Capitalism in Southeast Asia
Set within the context of ASEAN integration, this book considers how Capitalism from China interacts with the ASEAN Economic Community, considering the issue from a variety of sociological, cultural and economic perspectives. It examines some of the creative strategies – de-sinicization, re-sinicization and re-balancing – employed by local Chinese communities and ASEAN countries to cope with the pressures of Chinese capitalism. The book addresses the phenomenon of Chinese ethnic economic migration, particularly the social capital of being Chinese in South East Asia, as well as community building, the interplay between domestic politics and globalization, and the rise of Chinese tourism related entrepreneurship.

The BRICs Superpower Challenge
In an imaginative and interesting way, Kwang Ho Chun seeks to capture the dynamics of the changing international system and the prospects for a change in the international distribution of power. The idea that new superpowers could rise and that some of the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) could be such superpowers, is particularly intriguing and the main idea explored in this study. In line with neo-realist approaches, this book argues that in a unipolar world competitors will rise to challenge the global hegemon. As the power profiles of the BRICs rise and they gain greater control of geo-global politics, they are likely to attain significant regional dominance among other regional powers although their underdeveloped tradition of hard power and internal challenges could prevent them from gaining superpower status. This book captures the dynamics of the changing international system and the prospects for a change in the international distribution of power.
North Korea, International Law and the Dual Crises
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has a reputation as one of the worst human rights situations in the world. This book utilizes a unique international law perspective to examine the actions and inactions of North Korea with regard to international security and human rights. Adopting political, military, historical and legal perspectives, the book explores how the two issues of nuclear weapons and the human rights abuses in North Korea are interconnected, and why the international community should apply the same international law framework to find a solution for both. Drawing on eyewitness accounts, such as refugee and defector testimony, Morse Tan offers a real-life story of N...
Secure Oil and Alternative Energy
Secure Oil and Alternative Energy: The Geopolitics and Energy Paths of China and the European Union is the follow-on study to the well-received The Globalization of Energy: China and the European Union (Brill 2010). While intensive cooperation between China and the EU in the fields of energy use, environmental protection, and sustainability is highly needed, the question remains unanswered how this cooperation could be organized. Since the proven gas and oil reserves lay outside China and the EU, they are both facing geopolitical challenges to energy security in the foreseeable future. This volume puts the geopolitical implementation of China’s and the EU’s energy security into the conte...
