The major purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to contemporary Chinese foreign affairs and international relations. However， it also provides an overview of Chinese security environment and current trend of international politics. The specific content of the book naturally reflects my own methodological， theoretical， and pedagogical convictions. I believe that good foreign policy analysis combines the objectives and the methods of both the scientific and the humanistic approaches to political analysis. I have given some attention to normative analysis as well.This book is the product of a research project conducted under the auspices of National University research program of Tongji. It was made possible by the generous financial support of 985 program of Chinese Ministry of Education. I have benefited from workshops held at SAIS， the Johns Hopkins University， University of Chicago， Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and James Baker Institute of Rice University. I thank for participants in these workshops for their insightful and helpful comments on the project. I should also like to express my deep gratitude for the sincere assistance from Professor Walter Andersen， and Dr. Steve Lewis.
