In pur- suing interpretation aspirations with regard to sociocultural values and political order, China has started to challenge the perceived discourse hegemony of the United States and the West. • China’s claim to be the “world’s largest democracy” is linked to its belief that the Chinese political system should not simply be another democratic system, tailored to its national conditions; rather, in comparison to India, which in the West is con- sidered the biggest democracy, China should be the “truest” and most economi- cally successful democracy thanks to numerous participation mechanisms.

  • Chinese Public Diplomacy: the Rise of the Confucius Institute / Falk Hartig
    Chinese Public Diplomacy This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of Confucius Institutes (CIs), situating them as a tool of public diplomacy in the broader context of China’s foreign affairs. The study establishes the concept of public diplomacy as the theoretical framework for analysing CIs. By applying this frame to in- depth case studies of CIs in Europe and Oceania, it provides in-depth knowledge of the structure and organisation of CIs, their activities and audiences, as well as problems, chal- lenges and potentials. In addition to examining CIs as the most prominent and most controversial tool of China’s charm offensive, this book also explains what the structural configuration of these Institutes can tell us about China’s under- standing of and approaches towards public diplomacy. The study demonstrates that, in contrast to their international counterparts, CIs are normally organised as joint ventures between international and Chinese partners in the field of educa- tion or cultural exchange. From this unique setting a more fundamental observa- tion can be made, namely China’s willingness to engage and cooperate with foreigners in the context of public diplomacy. Overall, the author argues that by utilising the current global fascination with Chinese language and culture, the Chinese government has found interested and willing international partners to co- finance the CIs and thus partially fund China’s international charm offensive. This book will be of much interest to students of public diplomacy, Chinese politics, foreign policy and international relations in general. Falk Hartig is a post-doctoral researcher at Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany, and has a PhD in Media & Communication from Queensland Univer- sity of Technology, Australia.

  • Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society
    Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society by Wei Huang B. A., Huaqiao University, 2013 Extended Essays Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication (Dual Degree in Global Communication) Faculty of Communication, Art & Technology © Wei Huang 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2015 Approval Name: Wei Huang Degree: Master of Arts (Communication) Title: Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society Examining Committee: Program Director: Yuezhi Zhao Professor Frederik Lesage Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor School of Communication Simon Fraser University Baohua Wang Supervisor Professor School of Communication Communication University of China Date Defended/Approved: August 31, 2015 ii Abstract Meritocracy refers to the idea that whatever our social position at birth, society should offer the means for those with the right “talent” to “rise to top.” In context of celebrity culture, it could refer to the idea that society should allow all of us to have an equal chance to become celebrities. This article argues that as a result of globalization and consumerism in the post-reform market economy, the genre of music-based TV talent shows has become one of the most popular TV genres in China and has at the same time become a vehicle of a neoliberal meritocratic ideology. The rise of the ideology of meritocracy accompanied the pace of market reform in post-1980s China and is influenced by the loss of social safety nets during China’s transition from a socialist to a market economy.

In so doing, he appears to be acknowledging the desire of many, perhaps the majority, of Chinese people, to defend their culture against conversion; he is also providing an ideology to inspire the young and the servants of the state, offering an alternative to ‘westernisation’ and, in effect, replacing the now discredited Marxism-Leninism of his predecessors. Rather than rejecting China’s past as they did, Xi speaks of a renaissance of it.

  • ZHANG Weiwei
    International Herald Tribune 2 November 2006 The allure of the Chinese model ZHANG Weiwei Many of the African leaders coming here for the Chinese-African summit meeting are attracted not only by opportunities for aid and trade, but also by the Chinese model of development. They know that only three decades ago, China was as poor as Malawi. But while the latter remains among the world's poorest, China's economy has expanded nine-fold. Indeed, the Chinese model has in many ways challenged the conventional wisdom in the West on how to fight poverty and ensure good governance. Its key features are: People matter. Since 1978, China has pursued a down-to-earth strategy for modernization, and has focused on meeting the most pressing needs of the people. The architect of China's reform, Deng Xiaoping, argued that China could only "seek truth from facts," not from dogmas, and all reforms must take account of local conditions and deliver tangible benefits. Constant experimentation. All changes in China first go through a process of trial and error on a small scale, and only when they are shown to work are they are applied elsewhere. Gradual reform, not big bang. China rejected "shock therapy" and worked through the existing, imperfect institutions while gradually reforming them and reorienting them to serve modernization. A developmental state. China's change has been led by a strong and pro-development state that is capable of shaping national consensus on modernization and ensuring overall political and macroeconomic stability in which to pursue wide-ranging domestic reforms.

    LEGITIMACY AND THE MARITIME BORDER: CHINA'S LEGITIMATION STRATEGY IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Conflict Resolution By Drake M. Long, B.A. Washington, DC April 22, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Drake M. Long All Rights Reserved ii LEGITIMACY AND THE MARITIME BORDER: CHINA'S LEGITIMATION STRATEGY IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA Drake M. Long, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Matthew Kroenig, Ph.D ABSTRACT Legitimacy, in constructivist international relations theory, is an asymmetric concept that can restrain or embolden rising powers. Sticking to foreign policy that is seen as illegitimate in the eyes of established norms will invite ‘hedging’ behavior and potentially the ire of the enforcers who maintain the current order, whereas acting with legitimacy eases the concern of established powers by convincing them a rising power does not plan to alter the world or regional order. However, legitimacy requires justifications for actions abroad as well as arguments tailored for a domestic audience at home. In the South China Sea, China has employed legal warfare alongside provocative military maneuvers and paramilitary activity within disputed waters. China has expansive claims with little basis in international law that threaten the security and territorial integrity of other states in Southeast Asia. However, rather than make it clear it plans on replacing the regional order governed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, China employs a host of legal scholars, institutions, and actors to continually refine arguments couched in international law that legitimize its actions.

  • Book Reviews on Global Economy and Geopolitical Readings
    Book reviews on global economy and geopolitical readings ESADEgeo, under the supervision of Professor Javier Solana and Professor Javier Santiso. 1 The China Wave: Rise of a Civilizational State Weiwei, Zhang (2011). World Century Publishing Corporation. “According to the estimate of Angus Maddison in March 2009, the economic growth gap between China and the United States narrowed from 4.4 times in 1978 to 1.17 times in 2006.” “China has entered the “Golden age” in the growth of its middle class, which has reached 23% of the total population, about 300 million people, and is still expanding at 1% per year. It is generally held that 40% of the population in Beijing and Shanghai should be considered as middle‐class.” “The current crisis is a penalty for those who believe in market fundamentalism and democratic fundamentalism.” Basic Idea and Opinion With one fifth of the world’s population and an annual growth rate of 7.7%, China is set to become the world’s largest economy within ten to twenty years. This prospect, together with economic and political crisis in the West, makes it vital to re‐examine our ideas of the Asian colossus. Zhang Weiwei sets the book’s point of departure with the contention that China’s rise is not that of a run‐of‐the‐mill nation but is rather that of one that is unique in the world. This is because China is a ‘Civilizational State’ rather than a Nation State. China is a very large, populous country whose cultural traditions and history have marked its economic and political development.
