- Abstract
The article discusses three books that challenge the dominant narratives surrounding China's foreign policy and its role in the international order. The first book, "The authoritarian century" by Chris Ogden, argues that while China's economic power is increasing, it is not leading a new illiberal world order. The second book, "A hierarchical vision of order" by Antoine Roth, explores China's historical and cultural influences on its international relations, suggesting that China's behavior is not simply a reaction to the West. The third book, "China's asymmetric statecraft" by Yuxing Huang, examines China's regional relations and argues that China's strategies are context-dependent and not driven by a monolithic grand strategy. Overall, these books challenge the binary narratives and offer nuanced perspectives on China's global outreach.
