"Notes:Political culture refers to the basic values, ideas, beliefs and political orientations by which countries, societies, and whole regions are guided. The underlying belief systems that shape cultures and societies and cause them to behave in certain, often distinct ways.

This provocative book argues that the US needs to end its attitudes of superiority and condescension toward other nations and cultures and redirect its foreign policy accordingly. After an introduction that sets forth the main theoretical and conceptual arguments, the next chapters explore all the main areas of the world. The Conclusion pulls all these themes together, analyzes the common patterns that emerge, and suggests new directions for U.S foreign policy"

"Summary: "This comprehensive introduction to Chinese foreign relations examines the opportunities and limits China faces as it seeks growing international influence. Tracing the record of twists and turns in Chinese foreign relations since the end of the Cold War, Robert G. Sutter provides a nuanced analysis that shows that along with popular perceptions of its growing power, Beijing is hampered by both domestic and international constraints. Newly revised, this edition features more extensive treatment of China?s role in the international economy and greater discussion of its relations with the developing world. Overall, the text?s balanced and thorough assessment shows China?s leaders exerting more influence in world affairs but remaining far from dominant. Facing numerous contradictions and tradeoffs, they move cautiously as they deal with a complex global environment."--Publisher?s description.Contents: Strategy and continuity in contemporary Chinese foreign policy -- Chinese leadership priorities : implications for Chinese foreign relations -- Changing patterns in decision making and international outlook -- China?s role in the world economy and international governance -- Chinese national security policies -- Relations with the United States -- Relations with Taiwan -- Relations with Japan and Korea -- Relations with Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands -- Relations with Southern Asia and Central Asia -- Relations with Russia and Europe -- Relations with the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America -- Prospects"
