Produktbeschreibung
This book analyses China s foreign policy from 1949 to 1976 through a cognitive-perceptual lens, emphasising Mao Zedong s central role as the primary decision-making authority. Moving beyond realist frameworks, it highlights how Mao s ideological worldview shaped by his theory of contradictions , revolutionary zeal, and use of historical analogies drove China s foreign policy, particularly in relation to Vietnam. His subjective interpretation of global affairs, reinforced by Marxist-Leninist principles and China s historical identity, guided key strategic decisions. The study underscores the importance of individual leaders beliefs, perceptions, and psychological traits in shaping foreign policy, offering broader implications for understanding international relations through cognitive and psychological approaches.
