"Simon Shen and Shaun Breslin note how the emergence of an online civil society in China intrinsically provides some form of supervision of state power, and perhaps even a check on it." --Brookings "This volume is one of the most original and important volumes for years on China's international relations. It looks at the growing phenomenon of the emergence of a quasi-civil society in China via the internet, and uses it as a basis for a rethinking of how China relates to the rest of the world, including the battlegrounds with the Western world for power such as Africa and Latin America. This is truly international relations for the century to come." --Rana Mitter, University of Oxford "This pioneering volume illuminates a crucial new frontier in the popular articulation of Chinese nationalism in this age of hi-tech global instant communication via the Internet.
