Produktbeschreibung
This book provides a detailed analysis of China's foreign policy towards the Gulf and Arabian peninsula region from the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949 to the end of the 20th century. Based on extensive original research, it looks at the relations between China and each of the countries of the region over the entire period. It demonstrates that two key factors have shaped China's foreign policy with the region - China's relations with the United States and the Soviet Union, and China's drive to increase its economic ties with the countries of the region, especially after becoming a net importer of oil in the early 1990s. Mohamed Bin Huwaidin argues persuasively that the Gulf and Arabian peninsula have in fact always been part of China's foreign policy agenda, and that the region has been a significant region for China both politically and economically. The book stresses that this region will continue to be key as China pushes towards achieving - and sustaining - new levels of economic modernization. Scholars working in International relations, Asian studies and politics will find this volume a vital insight into modern Chinese foreign policy.
