"Wenshan Jia demonstrates that a true liberation of Chinese civic discourse can start with a focus on indigenous cultural practices, such as face practices - the understanding that every human face offers a distinct cultural grammar for acting, speaking, and feeling. Chinese character and identity, the author argues, are primarily functions of communication, and as such, these practices are of enormous consequence to the necessary reconstruction of Chinese identity in the changing socioeconomic context of the 21st century. In this way, Jia finds a middle ground between the advocacy of complete Westernization and radical Chinese nationalism: as a pragmatic alternative, communication is key. Never before has facework research been approached so systematically from the standpoint of its relationship to character and identity. Jia's work substantially advances the literature on Chinese communication and presents a unique perspective on its relationship to social transformation. This new paradigm of facework - including analytical methods such as Circular Questioning in addition to major case studies - challenges traditional views while pointing the way toward a new and valuable social-constructionist view."

Hardback. Condizione: New. The dissolution of the Soviet Union marked a transformative era for Central Asia, elevating its international prominence and shifting its role from a historically marginalized region to a key player in global geopolitics. Comprising Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, this region is now at the center of strategic discourse, particularly within the framework of Sir Halford Mackinder's "Heartland Theory," which underscores the supremacy of land power over maritime dominance. China's energy policies in Central Asia are deeply intertwined with its foreign policy objectives, regional security strategies, and economic ambitions. The "Western Development" strategy seeks to stabilize China's Northwestern region, particularly Xinjiang, by fostering economic prosperity in neighboring Central Asian nations. Furthermore, China's counterterrorism initiatives align with regional security concerns, facilitating bilateral and multilateral partnerships through organizations like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). As the 21st century unfolds, Central Asia remains at the epicenter of global energy politics, regional security dynamics, and international economic competition. With China, Russia, and the United States each vying for strategic leverage, the region's future will be shaped by a complex interplay of cooperation, competition, and evolving geopolitical realities. This book, with a focus on China and its Belt and Road Initiative in Central Asia, provides an in-depth analysis of these dynamics, offering insights into the historical, economic, and strategic forces that continue to redefine Central Asia's role in global affairs."The evolving geopolitical landscape of Central Asia has underscored its strategic significance in global affairs. This scholarly work provides a comprehensive analysis of the region's transformation post-Soviet Union, offering valuable insights into the intricate balance of power involving China, Russia, and Western influences. By addressing critical themes such as energy security, regional stability, and economic integration, this study makes a significant contribution to understanding the complex interplay between geopolitics and geo-economics in Central Asia." - Muhammad Munir, Professor of Political Science and Dean of International Relations Department, Muslim Youth University. …

Hardback. Condizione: New. There is a pressing need for a greater understanding among the world's diverse peoples. Once individuals gain an appreciation of each other's language and history, they can use this foundation to help construct a more peaceful, harmonious, cooperative and equitable world. But how can they begin to work toward this goal? In 2013 China proposed the Community of Shared Future (CSF), which has since become a framework for international collaboration aimed at creating a better world. Under the CSF framework , the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the three major globalinitiatives have been proposed. The BRI and these initiatives have garnered support and praise from much of the world. Nearly all African countries that maintain diplomatic relations with China have signed BRI cooperative agreements. However, the United States and other Western countries are not willing to accept a rising China in the international community. Thus, the West needs to gain a better understanding of them. The BRI and the three major global initiatives are not empty slogans. It is crucial for China to develop a global governance system that takes concrete actions and benefits other countries. …
