Each chapter in this volume explores the record of Chinese participation in a specific international issue area. These in-depth and timely studies reveal considerable success--more than most forecasts expected--but the road ahead may prove tougher than the terrain already covered.

Volume 1 (A and B) covers international organizations throughout the world, comprising their aims, activities and events.

This study of Chinese foreign policy is intended for academics and graduates of Chinese studies and of international relations, international economics and those interested in decision-making theory.
