Two major features of international relations at the beginning of the 21st century are global governance and an ascendant China. Whether or not China will ultimately sinicize global governance or become assimilated into global norms remains both a theoretical and a practical challenge. This book offers an understanding of China's intervention policy, an understanding which is vital to overcome anxiety precipitated by the theoretical and practical challenges.
