This volume examines a series of complex debates surrounding the role of China's historical ideals in shaping its foreign policy. Presenting and analyzing the works of key Chinese philosophers and prominent international relations theorists, the contributors—prestigious scholars from China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France—examine how an idealized version of China's imperial past now inspires a new generation of Chinese scholars and policymakers and their plans for China's future.
