About this book

This book intends to make sense of how Chinese leaders perceive China’s rise in the world through the eyes of China’s international relations (IR) scholars. Drawing on a unique, four-year opinion survey of these scholars at the annual conference of the Chinese Community of Political Science and International Studies (CCPSIS) in Beijing from 2014–2017, the authors examine Chinese IR scholars’ perceptions of and views on key issues related to China’s power, its relationship with the United States and other major countries, and China’s position in the international system and track their changes over time. Furthermore, the authors complement the surveys with a textual analysis of the academic publications in China’s top five IR journals. By comparing and contrasting the opinion surveys and textual analyses, this book sheds new light on how Chinese IR scholars view the world as well as how they might influence China’s foreign policy.

Reviews

“I believe the study is methodologically sound and makes a genuinely useful contribution to our understanding of Chinese scholarly views of China’s IR. … Feng, He and Li’s study will join David Shambaugh’s and other fine contributions to our understanding of Chinese views of China’s place in the world, appealing to academics, students of and researchers on Chinese foreign policy, as well as members of the policymaking community.” (Gregory J. Moore, Journal of Chinese Political Science, Vol. 26, 2021)
