Translation of Key Chinese Terms and Expressions -- Notes -- References -- Index Chinese Hegemony: Grand Strategy and International Institutions in East Asian History joins a rapidly growing body of important literature that combines history and International Relations theory to create new perspectives on East Asian political and strategic behavior. The book explores the strategic and institutional dynamics of international relations in East Asian history when imperial China was the undisputed regional hegemon, focusing in depth on two central aspects of Chinese hegemony at the time: the grand strategies China and its neighbors adopted in their strategic interactions, and the international institutions they engaged in to maintain regional order—including but not limited to the tribute system. Feng Zhang draws on both Chinese and Western intellectual traditions to develop a relational theory of grand strategy and fundamental institutions in regional relations. The theory is evaluated with three case studies of Sino-Korean, Sino-Japanese, and Sino-Mongol relations during China's early Ming dynasty—when a type of Confucian expressive strategy was an essential feature of regional relations. He then explores the policy implications of this relational model for understanding and analyzing contemporary China's rise and the changing East Asian order. The book suggests some historical lessons for understanding contemporary Chinese foreign policy and considers the possibility of a more relational and cooperative Chinese strategy in the future.HegemonyChinaHistoryHegemonyEast AsiaHistoryChinaForeign relationsEast AsiaEast AsiaForeign relationsChinaChinaHistoryMing dynasty, 1368-1644Electronic books.HegemonyHistory.HegemonyHistory.327.5105Zhang Feng1980-1039346MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460779303321Chinese hegemony2461501UNINA
