This book analyses the historical interactions between UNESCO and China during the often-neglected period of 1945-1971.

Spanning from UNESCO's inception up to the year the People's Republic of China (PRC) regained the official Chinese seat at the United Nations, this book uncovers the multifaceted dynamics of this relationship by mapping out interactions in three major aspects: education, science, and culture. It sheds light on China's complex role in the postwar world order, demonstrating how the nation perceived and practiced its international role during this tumultuous period. By examining UNESCO's presence in China during the civil war and Cold War, this book reveals the tensions, difficulties, and legacies of science diplomacy and cultural diplomacy facilitated by the organization. This book also maps out some "lost links" in the current narratives of both UNESCO and China's diplomacy, providing the historical trajectory necessary to understand China's current and future engagement with the organization and the broader world.

This book will be of interest to scholars and students specializing in modern China, cross-strait Relations, East Asian studies, the history of science, Cold War history, diplomatic history, international history, transnational history, and global history, particularly through the lens of international organizations.

Yarong Chen is a lecturer at the Institute of Global and Area Studies, Capital Normal University, China. Her research explores the historical relationship between UNESCO and China, with broader interests in the cultural/diplomatic history of modern China, the history of international organizations, and the history of global development.
