Features: The first two decades of this century are a crucial period for China's development in terms of strategic opportunities. China's international strategy aims to create a peaceful international environment to achieve the development goals of this important strategic period. In the past year, the international situation has been volatile and complex, with traditional and non-traditional security issues intertwined. The situation in Iraq has fluctuated, the North Korean nuclear issue has become prominent, and the pace of military transformations accelerated by the Iraq War has quickened. The relationships among major powers are being reshuffled. In the face of this complex international landscape, how should China accurately grasp the characteristics of the times? How should we understand and avoid current conflicts and wars? What is the future direction of major power relations? How will new military transformations impact us? These are all questions we must seriously analyze and discuss. The book presents some of the papers from the 2003 annual meeting of the Shanghai International Strategic Studies Association, hoping to contribute to advancing China's international strategy research.
