Beschreibung

This book studies the three most important Chinese foreign policy concepts under Xi Jinping¿s leadership ¿ ¿New Type of Great Power Relations¿, ¿Belt and Road Initiative¿ and ¿Community of Shared Future for Mankind¿. Those signature concepts are often considered as Chinäs well-thought-out strategic plans reflecting Beijing¿s concrete geopolitical vision. This book, however, argues that these views are mistaken. It develops a slogan politics approach to study Chinese foreign policy concepts. The overarching argument is that those concepts should be understood as multifunctional slogans for political communication on the domestic and international stages. This book shows how those concepts function as political slogans to (1) declare intent, (2) assert power and test domestic and international support, (3) promote state propaganda, and (4) call for intellectual support. The slogan politics approach highlights the critical role of Chinäs academic and local actors as well as international actors in shaping Chinäs foreign policy ideas. It provides critical insights to understand how Chinese domestic actors exert their influence and voice their narratives to influence Chinäs policy agenda and debate. It suggests that the existing analyses vastly exaggerate Beijing¿s capacity to coordinate domestic actors including forging coherent Chinese foreign policy narratives and unifying use of Chinäs policy concepts.

Zusammenfassung

Looks at the policy formation process and interplay among different actors within the Chinese political system

Posits that the existing analysis which consider China's foreign policy concepts as concrete strategies are mistaken

Argues that when Chinese leaders put forward foreign policy concepts, they should be taken as vague policy slogans rather than concrete strategies

Elaborates on how Chinese foreign policy concepts are not policy announcements but calls to mobilise domestic and international actors

Shows how this approach opens spaces for local and sub-national actors to inject their agenda and interests, where there is a risk of losing control over these concepts
