Summary:

Chinese government under different generations of leadership has used different concepts and principles to characterize its foreign policy-from Mao Zedong's "Five Principles" to Deng Xiaoping's "independent and peaceful foreign policy" to Hu Jintao's "peaceful development" and "harmonious world." After the introduction of "peaceful development," Chinese leadership under Hu Jintao has officially introduced the concept of "harmonious world" as the basis for its foreign policy principles and goals. However, questions remain about the exact meanings of these principles and slogans and their implications for Chinese foreign policy behavior.

"Harmonious World" and China's New Foreign Policy consists of essays by China specialists on this subject. The essays deal with such topics as "harmonious world" and China's new diplomacy, China's multilateral diplomacy after the Cold War, China's changing image of and engagement with the world order, China's energy security diplomacy, and China's trade diplomacy. These insightful contributions will help students in this academic field understand the new concepts and programs adopted by the new leadership and their important implications for China's new foreign policy behavior in the years to come.
