Book Description
In this collection, 17 leading scholars based in Solomon Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and China analyse key dimensions of the changing relationship between China and the Pacific Islands and explore the strategic, economic and diplomatic implications for regional actors. The China Alternative includes chapters on growing great power competition in the region, as well as the response to China's rise by the US and its Western allies and the island countries themselves. Other chapters examine key dimensions of China's Pacific engagement, including Beijing's programs of aid and diplomacy, as well as the massive investments of the Belt and Road Initiative. The impact of China's rivalry for recognition with Taiwan is examined, and several chapters analyse Chinese communities in the Pacific, and their relationships with local societies. The China Alternative provides ample material for informed judgements about the ability of island leaders to maintain their agency in the changing regional order, as well as other issues of significance to the peoples of the region.

Book Description
In this collection, 17 leading scholars based in Solomon Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and China analyse key dimensions of the changing relationship between China and the Pacific Islands and explore the strategic, economic and diplomatic implications for regional actors. The China Alternative includes chapters on growing great power competition in the region, as well as the response to China’s rise by the US and its Western allies and the island countries themselves. Other chapters examine key dimensions of China’s Pacific engagement, including Beijing’s programs of aid and diplomacy, as well as the massive investments of the Belt and Road Initiative. The impact of China’s rivalry for recognition with Taiwan is examined, and several chapters analyse Chinese communities in the Pacific, and their relationships with local societies. The China Alternative provides ample material for informed judgements about the ability of island leaders to maintain their agency in the changing regional order, as well as other issues of significance to the peoples of the region. ‘China’s “discovery” of the diverse Pacific islands, intriguingly resonant of the era of European explorers, is impacting on this too-long-overlooked region through multiple currents that this important book guides us through.’ —Rowan Callick, Griffith University ‘The China Alternative is a must-read for all students and practitioners interested in understanding the new geopolitics of the Pacific. It assembles a stellar cast of Pacific scholars to deeply explore the impact of the changing role of China on the Pacific islands region. Significantly, it also puts the Pacific island states at the centre of this analysis by questioning the collective agency they might have in this rapidly evolving strategic context.’ —Greg Fry, The Australian National University

Book Description
"Globalization to date has been a primarily Western dominated and oriented process. Through the use of both hard and soft power, the West has occupied a leading role in connecting and integrating the diverse and vast globe. In the 21st century, the rise and re-rise of new and traditional power centers has signaled the emergence of the phenomenon of "alternative globalizations," challenging or at a minimum reducing the global dominance of Western influences. Namely, countries from the non-Western world such as China emerging on the global stage offering the world, or regions of the world, alternative policies and practices, including developmental models and international institutions. China's half a century of interaction with Africa beginning in the 1960s -- China's first major independent foreign policy operation outside Asia -- offers a unique example of China's growing global power and influence. The record of China's relations with Africa constitutes both a lesson in the evolutionary development of Chinese foreign policy and China's expanding and deepening global role. China's influence and role in Africa also raises the question whether the developing bond between China and Africa signals China's influence as a potential alternative -- the "China alternative"--To the existing Western dominated global culture and power structure. China's surge of interest and activities in Africa in the early years of the 21st century drew much international attention. Academic, journalist, and policy studies abound focused on China's new foreign policy venture, including an emphasis upon China's search for energy and other commodity resources. While there was no doubt of an immediate interest in and the need for Africa's oil and abundant mineral resources, given its massive economic developmental requirements, China's relations with Africa were founded on both a broader and deeper political and economic relationship. The formation of China's African policy has been shaped by both domestic and external factors, with a close relationship between the two. Ideology, economics, and political considerations have all contributed to the formation of policy, depending upon the needs of the moment. In the 1960s and 1970s, Africa served as a battlefield between China and Taiwan over the question of sovereignty and who represented China, while in the 21st century economic issues were central, including securing access to African energy and commodity resources for China's economic development. In this sense, China's African policy has manifested a degree of flexibility and pragmatism."--Executive summary.

Book Description
The relationship between the Chinese nation and its recent past has been fraught with contradictions and tensions. This collection aims to make sense of this complex relationship and challenge the prevalent state-centric and nation-centric modes of history writing on modern China. It explores alternative representations of the past and the salience of political conflicts and competitive histories in China, highlighting the paradoxical similarities in such representations of the past from the late nineteenth century to the present. Ultimately, this book contributes to the ongoing discussion on the politics of interpreting the past and its many manifestations in both China and other societies. “This volume will contribute to the scholarly debate on the use of the past in national history.” Tze-ki Hon, City University of Hong Kong “Alternative Representations of the Past presents a collection of essays that critically examine the ways in which the contradicting and contested enterprise of history has been politicized in China. As ‘memory is past made present’, the meticulous re-evaluation of Chinese history by the contributors of this volume promises to offer readers valuable insights into contemporary China.” Chang-Yau Hoon, Associate Professor and Director, Centre for Advanced Research, Universiti Brunei Darussalam

Book Description
The book examines the development and application of mediation in China (including Hong Kong). As a popular mechanism for dispute resolution in Chinese history, mediation is believed to be an important process for realizing the official goal of social harmony. Following an overview of the current situation in mainland China and Hong Kong, the book looks into specific legal issues in the application of mediation and the practical use of mediation in specific lines of businesses. The book can serve as an important reference book on the law and practice of mediation in mainland China and Hong Kong for scholars, practitioners, as well as students of mediation and alternative dispute resolution.
