Description
Chinese Foreign Policy by Barbara Barnouin and Yu Changgen explores how the Cultural Revolution affected China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, examining the decision-making process in Chinese foreign policy and Mao Zedong's role in shaping it. The authors also investigate the conflict between traditionalists and those advocating new revolutionary concepts, and how this impacted foreign policy implementation. The book delves into the impact of the Soviet threat on China's national security, leading to a new approach in foreign policy. By analyzing these key aspects, Barnouin and Changgen provide insight into the complexities of Chinese foreign policy during a period of significant turmoil. This study offers a nuanced understanding of how the Cultural Revolution influenced China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its decision-making processes, making it a valuable resource for those interested in international relations and Chinese politics.
