About this product
Product Information
Sets out to answer two empirical questions. Is there a substantively consistent and temporally persistent Chinese strategic culture? If so, to what extent has it influenced China's approaches to security? This work focuses on the Ming dynasty's grand strategy against the Mongols (1368-1644).

Johnston is correct that many actual Chinese uses of force look far more like 'realism' than many Sinologists have realized. His stress on the 'realist' thread in the classics is likewise very illuminating. -- Arthur Waldron, The New Republic, "Johnston is correct that many actual Chinese uses of force look far more like 'realism' than many Sinologists have realized.
