Routledge handbook of Chinese security
Located in the center of Asia with one of the largest land frontiers in the world and 14 neighbors whose dispositions could not easily be predicted, China has long been obsessed with security. In this handbook, an internationally renowned team of contributors provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis of contemporary thinking about Chinese national security. Chapters cover the PRC's historical, ideological and doctrinal heritage related to security, its security arrangements and policies targeting key regions and nations of the world, the security aspects of the PRC's ground, air, sea, space and cyber forces, as well as the changing and expanding definition and scope of China's security theory and practice.

Major Law and Policy Issues in the South China Sea
Major law and policy issues in the South China Sea are discussed mainly from the perspectives of leading American and European scholars in the study of the complex South China Sea disputes. The issues include regional maritime cooperation and regime building, Southeast Asian countries' responses to the Chinese assertiveness, China's historic claims, maritime boundary delimitation and excessive maritime claims, military activities and the law of the sea, freedom of navigation and its impact on the problem, the dispute between Vietnam and China, confidence-building measures and U.S.-Taiwan-China relations in the South China Sea, and Taiwan's role in the resolution to the South China Sea issues. Over the past three years, there have been several incidents in the South China Sea between the claimants, and also between the claimants and non-claimants over fisheries, collection of seismic data, exploration for oil and gas resources, and exercise of freedom of navigation. Third party concerns and involvement in the South China Sea disputes have been increasing as manifested in actions taken by the United States, India, and Japan. It is therefore important to examine South China Sea disputes from the legal and political perspective and from the view point of American and European experts who have been studying South China Sea issues for many years.

Chinese Nuclear Proliferation
While the world's attention is focused on the nuclearization of
North Korea and Iran and the nuclear brinkmanship between India and
Pakistan, China is believed to have doubled the size of its nuclear
arsenal, making it \"the forgotten nuclear power,\" as described in
Foreign Affairs . Susan Turner Haynes analyzes China's
buildup and its diversification of increasingly mobile, precise,
and sophisticated nuclear weapons. Haynes provides context and
clarity on this complex global issue through an analysis of
extensive primary source research and lends insight into questions
about why China is the only nuclear weapon state recognized under
the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty that continues to pursue
qualitative and quantitative advancements to its nuclear force. As
the gap between China's nuclear force and the forces of the nuclear
superpowers narrows against the expressed interest of many nuclear
and nonnuclear states, Chinese Nuclear Proliferation
offers policy prescriptions to curtail China's nuclear growth and
to assuage fears that the \"American world order\" presents a direct
threat to China's national security. Presenting technical concepts
with minimal jargon in a straightforward style, this book will be
of use to casual China watchers and military experts alike.

Innovate to Dominate
In Innovate to
Dominate , Tai Ming Cheung offers insight
into why, how, and whether China will overtake the United States to
become the world's preeminent technological and security
power . This examination of the means and ends of China's
quest for techno-security supremacy is required reading for anyone
looking for clues as to the long-term direction of the global
order. The techno-security domain, Cheung argues, is where national
security, innovation, and economic development converge, and it has
become the center of power and prosperity in the twenty-first
century. China's paramount leader Xi Jinping recognizes that
effectively harnessing the complex interactions among security,
innovation, and development is essential in enabling China to
compete for global dominance. Cheung offers a richly detailed
account of how China is building a potent techno-security state. In
Innovate to Dominate he takes readers from the strategic
vision guiding this transformation to the nuts-and-bolts of policy
implementation. The state-led top-down mobilizational model that
China is pursuing has been a winning formula so far, but the
sternest test is ahead as China begins to compete head-to-head with
the United States and aims to surpass its archrival by mid-century
if not sooner. Innovate to Dominate is a timely and
analytically rigorous examination of the key strategies guiding
China's transformation of its capabilities in the national,
technological, military, and security spheres and how this is
taking place. Cheung authoritatively addresses the burning
questions being asked in capitals around the world: Can China
become the dominant global techno-security power? And if so,
when?

China's quest for global order
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.
