And though much has been written of China' s rise, a crucial aspect of this transformation has gone largely unnoticed: the way that China is using soft power to appeal to its neighbors and to distant countries alike.This book is the first to examine the significance of China' s recent reliance on soft power-- diplomacy, trade incentives, cultural and educational exchange opportunities, and other techniques-- to project a benign national image, position itself as a model of social and economic success, and develop stronger international alliances. Drawing on years of experience tracking China' s policies in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, Joshua Kurlantzick reveals how China has wooed the world with a \"charm offensive\" that has largely escaped the attention of American policy makers.Beijing' s new diplomacy has altered the political landscape in Southeast Asia and far beyond, changing the dynamics of China' s relationships with other countries. China also has worked to take advantage of American policy mistakes, Kurlantzick contends. In a provocative conclusion, he considers a future in which China may be the first nation since the Soviet Union to rival the United States in international influence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51713612284192,"sku":"NEW0274745801","price":34.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61WimHpdXTL.jpg?v=1779399710","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/charm-offensive-how-chinas-soft-power-is-transforming-the-world-0274745801","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
