Beyond Rigidity

This book investigates China's foreign policy concerning the principle of non-intervention in domestic affairs of other states in the post-Cold War period. The principle of non-intervention has traditionally been central to Chinese foreign policy, but as China's economy has boomed, international attention to her foreign policy has been increasingly hostile. Accordingly, an exploration of China's non-intervention policy is worthwhile to understand China's foreign policy and its international behavior.

This book will be of interest to China watchers, scholars of geopolitics, and Asian historians.

Explores the fundamentals of Chinese foreign policy Offers a rubric for interpreting East Asian politics Charts a history of Chinese foreign policy
