Moving beyond realist frameworks, it highlights how Mao's ideological worldview--shaped by his 'theory of contradictions', revolutionary zeal, and use of historical analogies--drove China's foreign policy, particularly in relation to Vietnam. His subjective interpretation of global affairs, reinforced by Marxist-Leninist principles and China's historical identity, guided key strategic decisions. The study underscores the importance of individual leaders' beliefs, perceptions, and psychological traits in shaping foreign policy, offering broader implications for understanding international relations through cognitive and psychological approaches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amrita Jash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031941993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031941993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Amrita Jash","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47452799041791,"sku":"9783031941993","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f56a275a-ae79-428b-957b-13578d7bc8bf.jpg?v=1761930549","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mao-zedong-chinas-foreign-amrita-jash-9783031941993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
