China invests heavily in policies aimed at improving its image, guarding
itself against international criticism and advancing its domestic and
international agenda. This volume explores how the Chinese government
seeks to develop a distinct Chinese approach to public diplomacy, one
that suits the country's culture and authoritarian system. Based on
in-depth case studies, it provides a thorough analysis of this approach,
which is characterized by a long-term vision, a dominant role for the
government, an inseparable and complementary domestic dimension, and a
high level of interconnectedness with China's overall foreign policy and
diplomacy.
Ingrid d'Hooghe, Ph.D, is a senior research associate at the Netherlands
Institute of International Relations 'Clingendael'. She has published
widely in the field of China's foreign policy and diplomacy.
