The "rise of China" has become a ubiquitous and often menacing term in global politics. China's Quest for Global Order: From Peaceful Rise to Harmonious World, by Rosita Dellios, PhD, and R. James Ferguson, PhD, examines how China's leadership has responded to this depiction and the strategic approaches that have been developed to ameliorate threat perceptions. Rather than simply reassuring others that its "rise" is peaceful, China has taken proactive steps to reduce possible conflicts. Beijing seeks to shape the emerging global governance order as both non-threatening to itself and productive in transnational problem-solving. Borrowing from its own Confucian heritage to promote a harmonious world policy, China's contribution to world order is likely to be more robust than the "responsible stakeholder" epithet upon which the West has pinned its collective hopes. The book interprets China's quest for global order from Chinese perspectives, old and new, and provides the relevant philosophical and historical background to engage the reader in the ensuing debates. The authors also contextualize Chinese concepts with those from contemporary international relations, strategic studies and systems thinking. Their resultant contributions to existing analyses include the notion of "Confucian geopolitics" and the interplay between strategic theatres of cooperation and protection.

Rosita Dellios, PhD, is Associate Professor of International Relations at Bond University in Australia. She lectures and writes on the themes of Chinese defence policy and philosophy, concepts for world order and future trends in global politics. She regularly visits Beijing to keep abreast with developments in the fields of China's foreign and defence policies as well as debates in Confucian philosophy.

R. James Ferguson, PhD, is Director of Bond University's Centre for East-West Cultural and Economic Studies, and Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. His teaching and research areas include East Asia, the Indo-Pacific Region, Eurasia, and Latin America, as well as regionalism and globalization studies. He has an academic background in history, cultural systems, and philosophy.
