This is the product of China's miracle economic growth over a period of more than three decades, together with China's drive to become a major player in world affairs and accomplish this through economic rather than military means. This three-volume work is the first comprehensive study of China's aid and investment strategy to trace how it has evolved since Beijing launched its foreign aid diplomacy at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Volume I examines the definitions, origins, nature, and scope of foreign aid and investment by other countries. Using that background, John F. Copper then traces China's financial assistance to developing countries from the Mao period - when China gave meaningful foreign aid despite its own economic struggles - through the beginning of China's post-1978 economic boom and during subsequent decades of rapid economic growth. Copper shows that China has a more salient history in giving foreign assistance than any other country in the world; while China's objectives in giving foreign assistance have changed markedly over time, China has always been driven by efforts to realize its foreign policy objectives and expand China's external influence.International relationsAsia—Politics and governmentWorld politicsPolitical sciencePolitical economyDiplomacyInternational Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000Asian Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911110Political Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080Political Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Diplomacyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912020International relations.Asia—Politics and government.World politics.Political science.Political economy.Diplomacy.International Relations.Asian Politics.Political History.Political Science.International Political Economy.Diplomacy.338.9151Copper John Fauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062746BOOK9910255302603321China’s Foreign Aid and Investment Diplomacy, Volume I2528298UNINA
