ISBN: 3319332953

This book analyses how China overcame its meagre reputation in the early 1990s to become an aggressively growing military power and rising threat to the international system. The author focuses on China’s new multilateral foreign policy approach, ambitious military build-up programme and economic cooperation initiatives. This book presents a much-needed comparative perspective of China in terms of foreign policy, seeking to develop analytical tools to assess China’s motivations and moves. The author suggests that understanding China’s new foreign policy, its tactics in multilateral organisations, and approaches to conflict resolutions are elementary to grasp the new realities of international relations, particularly relevant to newly established institutions in the evolving Asian political system which require basic knowledge for analysing the politics in this continent. This book uses an innovative approach, a qualitative analysis of China’s foreign policy addressing criteria of reputation management, to overcome the perceived ‘China threat’.

Genre: Young Adult Fantasy/Paranormal Short Novel ***This is a bundled edition of the following four stories.*** Some heroes work in the shadows, only their deeds remembered. Assassins Of The Dead 1: Dark Blade Meikah's family are templars, as far from necromancers as it's possible to be. When she learns that not only can she see the dead, but also wield magic, she fears what the future holds. She doesn't want to become a necromancer, or a dark blade, but there seems to be few choices now available to her. It doesn't help that people have begun to treat her like she's an evil necromancer and rumours have started. Nor does she believe Kellan when he says she belongs with the Assassins Of The Dead. They seem to be a mismatched group that include nobles, an assassin, a sorcerer, a shapeshifter and a vampire. Not at all like templars. And if she was to join them, the rumours will never end and her family might actually disown her. Assassins Of The Dead 2: Dragon Touched Meikah, Kellan, Livia and Rafe travel to the Arcton Mountains when an assassin comes asking for help. A vampire holding is overrun by zombies. But it's not the bandits and necromancers that most fear in the area. It's the dragons and their nesting grounds. Cross a dragon and they never forget. And certainly never forgive. In an area known for its myths, legends and dangers you need to stay vigilant if you want to survive. Assassins Of The Dead 3: Society Against Vampires The Society Against Vampires are in Dreyton and vampires are going missing. Meikah is determined to do something about it before Rafe gets hurt. She's been warned they have to work within the law, that some of the members are nobles and without proof they can't pay for their crimes. Will they gain the proof needed before more innocent vampires go missing or is the society too well organised and impossible to catch? Assassins Of The Dead 4: King's Request No one turns down a request from the king. No matter what it is or how dangerous it might be. Meikah needs to find a way to cover the real reason she needs to visit the capital and worries about how much longer she can continue to follow Kellan into mischief without her family doing something drastic. Yet how can she turn down the king's request? And does she even want to? These stories were written by an Australian author using Australian spelling.

The purpose of The New Era in U.S. National Security: Challenges of the Information Age is to make its readers aware of how the tensions between opposing forces from above and below influence world events and shape U.S. national security institutions. The debt trap now being experienced by the developing world has unleashed global migration on a mass scale. In a world where market forces are politically unaccountable, crime will prosper, and its linkage to organizing social structures is organic. The nexus between corrupt politicians, transnational business, and cross-border crime pulls tighter. Meanwhile, the structures of global governance are immature. Differences of agreement over international norms and controls regarding the use of the Internet, and the laws pertaining to the deployment of cyber weapons are illusive - if not insurmountable. The chasm between the rich and poor is widening and deepening. Hostilities continue mount. In this book, Jack A. Jarmon offers a survey of the altering landscape of warfare and competition. Using recent events and documented experiences as examples, it reveals truths about the threat from criminals, terrorists, hostile governments, and internal vulnerabilities. The nation’s exposure invites attack with every hour. Rather than an abstract threat, these unseen and unreported assaults land blows to our information networks, infrastructure, quality of life, and democratic system.
