From Tao Guang Yang Hui to Xin Xing
This article traces China's foreign policy transformation from 2013 to the present. It also examines Deng Xiaoping's doctrinal response to the political crises of 1989-91 and compares it to current Chinese foreign policy doctrines.From the early 1980s until the 2010s, China's foreign policy has generally focused on keeping a low profile. Deng's Tao Guang Yang Hui foreign policy doctrine is characterized by its \"No's\", while Xi Jinping's Xin Xing is marked by its \"New's\". The move from Tao Guang Yang Hui to Xin Xing is a major doctrinal shift in China's foreign policy.Since the 19th Party Congress in 2017, Xi's \"new\" narratives have seemingly dominated Chinese foreign policy. However, old principles, particularly that of \"non-interference\" or \"no hegemony\", are still alive, albeit in a different form.This transformation is driven by three forces, which this paper describes in the 3As framework: China's Ambition to be a \"great country\" and a \"non-hegemon\" in a changing world; its provision of Alternatives to fill the gaps in regional and global governance structures; and its Adaptation to what it deems as \"unprecedented major changes in a century\" (Da Bian Ju).As China undergoes this foreign policy transformation, contradictions and dilemmas inevitably emerge.While China's foreign policy transformation is currently being disrupted by the coronavirus crisis, there have been adjustments which were already apparent before the crisis. The ambitious \"One Belt and One Road\" strategy, for instance, was replaced by the \"Belt and Road Initiative\"; \"constructive intervention\" was replaced by \"constructive role\"; and \"common destiny\" was replaced by \"shared future\". Looking ahead, China's foreign policy transformation could include more strategic or, at least, tactical adjustments.

The Monetary Gold Principle: Back to Basics
In The Case of the Monetary Gold Removed from Rome in 1943, the International Court of Justice concluded that it cannot decide a dispute in which a third party's legal interests “would form the very subject-matter of the decision.” This Article argues that what has become known as the Monetary Gold principle conflicts with the Court's obligation to decide cases submitted by consenting parties and should be abandoned.

America Unbound: The Bush Revolution in Foreign Policy
George W. Bush has launched a revolution in American foreign policy. He has redefined how America engages the world, shedding the constraints that friends, allies, and international institutions impose on its freedom of action. He has insisted that an America unbound is a more secure America. How did a man once mocked for knowing little about the world come to be a foreign policy revolutionary? In America Unbound, Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay dismiss claims that neoconservatives have captured the heart and mind of the president. They show that George W. Bush has been no one's puppet. He has been a strong and decisive leader with a coherent worldview that was evident even during the 2000 presidential campaign. Daalder and Lindsay caution that the Bush revolution comes with significant risks. Raw power alone is not enough to preserve and extend America's security and prosperity in the modern world. The United States often needs the help of others to meet the challenges it faces overseas. But Bush's revolutionary impulse has stirred great resentment abroad. At some point, Daalder and Lindsay warn, Bush could find that America's friends and allies refuse to follow his lead. America will then stand alone-a great power unable to achieve its most important goals.

Consular Relations: A Complex and often Misunderstood Peoples' Service
Consular relations are as essential in inter-state relation as diplomatic relations, although theirs are focussed on servicing the people or corporate bodies overseas. Nevertheless, the conduct of consular relations is not as simple as most people think for prior to the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (hereinafter, VCCR), 1963, there existed numerous consular treaties. Nor does the service receive as much attention as diplomatic relations. This article examines the factors that gave rise to these situations, which were traced as far back to ancient times with the implementation of the \"personality of laws\". The emergence of the modem European states had not diminished the practice of providing \"customised\" jurisdiction for consular agents or officers although states have become more territorial. Conscious effort to bring about some uniformity in consular law and, thus, reduce the confusion that arose from the diversified consular functions and jurisdiction came about only in the twentieth century.

INCIDENTAL DETERMINATIONS IN PROCEEDINGS UNDER COMPROMISSORY CLAUSES
A dispute brought before an international court or tribunal pursuant to a compromissory clause in a specific treaty may involve issues under rules of international law found outside of the treaty in question. In what circumstances can a court or tribunal determine such external issues? At present, there is no clear answer to this question. This article sets out a framework for how courts and tribunals exercising jurisdiction under compromissory clauses could approach external issues.
