{"product_id":"rebranding-china-xiaoyu-pu-9781503606838","title":"Rebranding China: Contested Status Signaling in the Changing Global Order","description":"\u003cp\u003eChina is intensely conscious of its status, both at home and abroad. This concern is often interpreted as an undivided desire for higher standing as a global leader. Yet, Chinese political elites heatedly debate the nation's role as it becomes an increasingly important player in international affairs. At times, China positions itself not as a nascent global power but as a fragile developing country. Contradictory posturing makes decoding China's foreign policy a challenge, generating anxiety and uncertainty in many parts of the world. Using the metaphor of rebranding to understand China's varying displays of status, Xiaoyu Pu analyzes a rising China's challenges and dilemmas on the global stage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs competing pressures mount across domestic, regional, and international audiences, China must pivot between different representational tactics. \u003ci\u003eRebranding China\u003c\/i\u003e demystifies how the state represents its global position by analyzing recent military transformations, regional diplomacy, and international financial negotiations. Drawing on a sweeping body of research, including original Chinese sources and interdisciplinary ideas from sociology, psychology, and international relations, this book puts forward an innovative framework for interpreting China's foreign policy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xiaoyu Pu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150360683X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503606838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Xiaoyu Pu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979775901951,"sku":"9781503606838","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcabd7dd-d4e6-47ed-b618-5176f947c3a0.jpg?v=1683246865","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rebranding-china-xiaoyu-pu-9781503606838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
