Publisher's Synopsis
Considering the important impact of Asian cultures on international relations, we conducted a multifaceted analysis and authentic summary of the Asian experiences and patterns of dealing with foreign relations from an Asian insider's perspective, aiming to find out where the diverging or converging diplomatic ways of the West and the East came from and what the positive diplomatic values and practices originated from Asian traditions are. Focusing on China, volume one thoroughly analyses the nature, political culture and mechanism of the tribute system from ancient time to the modern era within and beyond China. Volume two studies the culture and diplomacy of various individual Asian nations except for China, both in general and in particular cases, with an interdisciplinary approach. $1!R]!?6!3b!0X!G=!BX!4H!;C!7o!_7!^i!1i!0=!=Y!`6!M"!JY!F1!]:!X%!>4(B, $1!?d!1s!=l!0!!2$!0X!G=!;PK3!!0d!M"!X3!k!RB!0=!8{!0^!2]!1|!X2(B. $1'@{!0!!_A!04!0R!04!7o(B, $1!=t!
