It is the first book that seeks to give a theoretical explanation of Myanmar?s diplomacy, thereby bridging the gap from basic research to the deep one with theories. It also introduced the concept of strategic preference and argued that the competing strategic preference that the Burmese leaders have, namely ?integration? and ?isolation?, determines Myanmar?s responses to China in the Post-Cold War era, which not only demonstrates the neo-classical realism as an useful instrument of looking into state?s foreign policy and deepens the understanding on Myanmar-China relations. The main content of this book is divided into seven parts, in which the first chapter introduces the background, the present study on Myanmar?s China policy and China?s Myanmar policy, the analytical framework, and the arrangement of the content. Chapter 2 focuses on the roots and changes of Myanmar?s competing strategic preference as well as its influences on Myanmar?s foreign policy. The following four chapters examine the international pressures and benefits imposed by systemic imperatives, and Burmese leaders? specific strategic preference since 1988, and investigate Myanmar?s policy towards China in different periods. Finally, it provides a comprehensive conclusion that outlines and reviews the origins and evolution of Myanmar?s China policy, and predicts its future directions. This book is suitable for the graduates and experts who are interested in international relations, the Asian studies and neo-classical realism in particular, and Myanmar politics and foreign relations, as well as China?s relation with neighboring countries. . 606 $aDiplomatic relations 607 $aBurma$xForeign relations$zChina$xHistory 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$zBurma 615 0$aDiplomatic relations. 676 $a327.51059 700 $aPeng$b Nian$01077068 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484428003321 996 $aInternational pressures, strategic preference, and Myanmar's China policy since 1988$92844454 997 $aUNINA
