About this book
Qin explores the ten-year development of relations between China and Central and Eastern Europe through the ChinaāCEEC (ChinaāCentral and Eastern European Countries) cooperation (16/17+1), which began as a platform for annual high-level meetings between leaders of China and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries, and to stimulate new dynamism and gain recognition through effective shared practice.
This book analyses the process of co-construction of shared practices between China and the Czech Republic through ChinaāCEEC cooperation from 2012 to 2021 from the perspective of normative power. It proposes the concept of 'earning recognition' that provides a specific analytical path for dynamically measuring whether an actor could be seen as having normative power and brings new insights from the perspective of normative power to the debates on China's ideational influence in the CEE region. It provides a wealth of empirical evidence for reflecting on the failure of China's approach in the Czech Republic, adding an important piece of the puzzle to the study of ChinaāCEE relations.
A valuable resource for scholars and practitioners in the field of international relations and China studies, especially those who specialise in ChinaāCEE relations and those interested in China's impact on the world, the Central and Eastern European region, and the competition for influence among major powers.
