  • 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.

  • Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2016
    Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2016 Monday 25 January - Thursday 4 February 2016 Round 1 Report 26 January 2016 - by John Saunders (@JohnChess) David versus Goliath Let's cut to the chase: the sensation of the first round was Vishy Anand conceding a draw to IM Szidonia Vajda of Hungary, with a rating 435 inferior to that of the legendary Indian. This was Vishy's Gibraltar debut and, as with Magnus Carlsen's recent appearance in the Qatar Masters, his (usually) irresistible force failed to overcome an immoveable (female) object in the first round. Massive credit to Szidonia, who was also making her debut in Gibraltar, for putting up such determined resistance. Vishy make take heart from Magnus's subsequent performance in Qatar, finishing as winner of the tournament. Plenty of players have recovered from a minor blip in the early rounds of a Swiss to go on and win the tournament. Top seed Hikaru Nakamura faced English IM Robert Bellin. I won't mention Robert's age other than to say it is very similar to my own. The American was aware his opponent was a Dutch Defence player and readily played into it. Commentator Simon Williams queried this, since Hikaru had ducked a Dutch when Simon had played 1...e6 against Hikaru's 1.d4 some years ago, instead opting for an uncharacteristic Exchange French. On that occasion, Hikaru had noted how the English GM had defeated Gelfand with the Dutch, but against the English veteran he was not so concerned. He won comfortably, as did Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, second seed, against Ehud Shachar of Israel.
