Summary
The Empire's New Clothes is an exploration of the ways in which China's entry into international society has reshaped its identity. The book looks at how coercive enrolment into the world of sovereign states shapes China's attitudes towards sovereignty and human rights, and the difficult manner through which China has adapted itself to the rule of law. This process continues to affect the ways in which China approaches globalization. The book ends with a discussion about how China will manage its rise with special relevance to Sino-American relations.
