Confucian Geopolitics : Chinese Geopolitical Imaginations of the US War on Terror Paperback / softback
by Ning An
Paperback / softback
Description
This book presents an essential non-western geopolitical landscape and draws on the conceptual framework of critical geopolitics to discuss the views on terrorism held by various groups of Chinese people, including the elite, middle class, and masses.
After investigating these views, the book posits that these Chinese geopolitical imaginaries cannot be fully understood using the extant geopolitical theories, including communism, nationalism, and realism.
Accordingly, it subsequently seeks to adapt the Confucian geopolitical idea in order to theorize Chinese geopolitics.
By doing so, the book reintroduces the historically embedded but long-ignored traditional Chinese political geography philosophies (in particular Confucian thinking) into efforts to explain Chinese geopolitics.
In this regard, it promotes a specific and importantly Confucianism-based understanding of international security politics.
The geopolitical model provided can also help to explain Chinese views on other major geopolitical issues.
