China is expected to play a more active and influential role in the international community, raising concerns about how it will manage its responsibilities and interests. The ambiguous and assertive Belt and Road Initiative is a particularly significant concern in this regard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo gain insights into China's approach to foreign relations in the twenty-first century, the book draws on the Tributary System, which provides concrete evidence of how Chinese dynasties interacted with foreigners. This reference point is particularly relevant given China's recent re-embracing of its history and pre-revolutionary identity, following the turbulence of the Century of Humiliation and the Maoist Era. Confucius, one of the major targets of the Cultural Revolution, is being rehabilitated alongside other ideologies and philosophies suppressed during the Mao era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book \"Hegemony with Chinese Characteristics\" employs hegemony as an analytic lens to examine the power generated by China's global rise. It offers an innovative study of the power dynamics at play in the international system. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of Chinese foreign policy and international relations, serving as a benchmark for further research in these fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 454g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367751074\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Asim Dogan","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103719649530,"sku":"9780367751074","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646153704441_book.jpg?v=1646912230","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/hegemony-with-chinese-characteristics-from-the-tributary-system-to-the-belt-and-road-initiative-9780367751074","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
