    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book examines the impact of classical Chinese literature on Mao Zedongs political rhetoric and his vision of a tripolar geopolitical landscape at the peak of the Cold War. The historical novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which two weaker sovereign powers (Shu and Wu) collude to defend themselves against the dominance of another power (Wei), is here identified as a particular inspiration for Mao in building a Sino-Soviet alliance in opposition to the powerful United States. This classical Chinese text provided Mao with a framework for understanding the complexity of global politics, establishing a balance with the two superpowers, and gaining diplomatic autonomy in Chinas development. This study traces Maos use of a tripolar policy throughout his leadership, including the role of the Korean War in isolating China, the influence of Sino-US hostility on Maos Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, and the initiation of ping-pong diplomacy with the United States to counteract the Soviet threat. The author offers an original insight into Maos navigation of US and Soviet pressures while promoting socialist modernization in China. Examines the impact of classical Chinese literature on Mao Zedong's political rhetoric and his vision of a tripolar geopolitical landscape at the peak of the Cold War.

    Condition: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: leicht bestoßen/slightly bumped. The Theory of Ch'i. Lai Sing Lam thoroughly analyzes the element of purposive contention in China's foreign relations with the superpowers. From the reviews: "By demonstrating that Mao's spirit of purposiveness and will power were intimately related to his hyperbolical-astronomical ch'i, the author has made original contributions to both fields of international relations and Chinese studies" (Herbert Yee). - "The examination of the element of ch'i in the works of Mao Tse-tung is an unprecedented and valuable theoretical contribution which could inspire similar investigations of works of other Chinese and East Asian political leaders. The pioneering study of Lam Lai Sing enriches the literature of political theory and Chinese studies as well as furthers the understanding of China's international perspective" (Wilfrido V. Villacorta). VIII,208 Seiten, Leinen (Mellen University Press 1995). Statt EUR 164,90. Gewicht: 473 g - Gebunden/Gebundene Ausgabe.…

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Mao's twin political-cum-economic development models did not evolve alone from the internal environment. Rather they were historically constructed in relation to the developments in the Sino-US and Sino-USSR relations. This work traces the complex role that these relations had in the formation of Mao's worldview of the West and the Soviet Union as a hostile international environment. The author looks at the intricate interactions between China and each of the twin superpowers (or both in unison), Mao's leadership and the masses, and his development model during his time as well as the post-Mao's development model he created (in a favourable international environment starting) in 1971. The book seeks to explain how political, economic, and cultural changes were produced through various processes of interactions, whether (the Great Leap Forward), the Cultural Revolution, (the present on-going) modernization revolution, trade, or global participation. …

    Hardback. Condition: New. Kissinger's dual-purpose instrument of the US-China and US-Soviet détente was devised to achieve a stable balance of power in the contemporary world in the second half of the 1960s. Stimulated by both Kissinger's doctrine and the historical novel, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Mao's global order of tripolarity was created to feature the new US-China relations in the early 1970s with his initiative of the ping-pong diplomacy through this Kissinger-Mao axis. This made his quest for a modernization revolution possible with the Western market oriented approach.Strengthening Mao's modernization program, Xiaoping's "good-neighborhood" policy was designed to induce the world to help modernize China. Vitally including Russia with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Deng's policy helped maintain a peaceful and stable international environment, though it also marked the end of Mao's global order.Perceiving the PRC's rise as a threat to its dominance in the Asia Pacific region, the US containment effort was enhanced with US-Japanese collusion and siding with the Philippines and Vietnam in relevant maritime disputes with the PRC. The US united with the Republic of Korea, nations in Southeast Asia, and Australia in establishing a wide-range alliance to go against the "China threat."The post-Cold War, eastward expansion of the US-led NATO and the Russian determination to be a great power again, contributed to tension with the United States. The Russian desire to maintain its nuclear deterrent capability was at odds with the US missile defense plans. Thus, the US deployment of its missile shield in Eastern Europe as part of its strategic configuration in Alaska and the Far East was to contain Russia from both the Far East and Europe.…

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mao's twin political-cum-economic development models did not evolve alone from the internal environment. Rather they were historically constructed in relation to the developments in the Sino-US and Sino-USSR relations. This work traces the complex role that these relations had in the formation of Mao's worldview of the West and the Soviet Union as a hostile international environment. The author looks at the intricate interactions between China and each of the twin superpowers (or both in unison), Mao's leadership and the masses, and his development model during his time as well as the post-Mao's development model he created (in a favourable international environment starting) in 1971. The book seeks to explain how political, economic, and cultural changes were produced through various processes of interactions, whether (the Great Leap Forward), the Cultural Revolution, (the present on-going) modernization revolution, trade, or global participation. 287 pp. Englisch.…

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book examines the impact of classical Chinese literature on Mao Zedong¿s political rhetoric and his vision of a tripolar geopolitical landscape at the peak of the Cold War. The historical novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which two weaker sovereign powers (Shu and Wu) collude to defend themselves against the dominance of another power (Wei), is here identified as a particular inspiration for Mao in building a Sino-Soviet alliance in opposition to the powerful United States. This classical Chinese text provided Mao with a framework for understanding the complexity of global politics, establishing a balance with the two superpowers, and gaining diplomatic autonomy in Chinäs development.This study traces Maös use of a tripolar policy throughout his leadership, including the role of the Korean War in isolating China, the influence of Sino-US hostility on Maös Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, and the initiation of ¿ping-pong diplomacy¿ with the United States to counteract the Soviet threat. The author offers an original insight into Maös navigation of US and Soviet pressures while promoting socialist modernization in China.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 246 pp. Englisch.…
