And though much has been written of China's rise, a crucial aspect of this transformation has gone largely unnoticed: the way that China is using soft power to appeal to its neighbors and to distant countries alike.This book is the first to examine the significance of China's recent reliance on soft power?diplomacy, trade incentives, cultural and educational exchange opportunities, and other techniques?to project a benign national image, position itself as a model of social and economic success, and develop stronger international alliances. Drawing on years of experience tracking China's policies in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, Joshua Kurlantzick reveals how China has wooed the world with a'charm offensive'that has largely escaped the attention of American policy makers.Beijing's new diplomacy has altered the political landscape in Southeast Asia and far beyond, changing the dynamics of China's relationships with other countries. China also has worked to take advantage of American policy mistakes, Kurlantzick contends. In a provocative conclusion, he considers a future in which China may be the first nation since the Soviet Union to rival the United States in international influence. 606 $aInternational relations$2FBC 607 $aChina$xRelations 608 $aElectronic Books 615 0$aInternational relations. 686 $2z 700 $aKurlantzick$b Joshua$f1976-$01626723 701 $aKurlantzick$b Joshua$f1976-$01626723 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807867203321 996 $aCharm offensive$94063611 997 $aUNINA
