Full Description
China and the World: New Perspectives on Classical Topics invites you to see China's rise through a fresh lens. It provides the depth often absent in geopolitical discussions on China, revealing how Chinese scholars reinterpret their own political, philosophical and religious traditions to re-conceptualize contemporary law, governance, and global order. From the revival of tianxia ("all under Heaven") and dayitong ("Great Unity") to legal innovations under the Belt and Road Initiative, it uncovers China's strategic use of philosophy, religion and international law for national rejuvenation. Drawing on historical sources and insider perspectives, this volume provides a vital foundation for cross-disciplinary engagement.
