Abstract
Chapter 1 introduces the puzzle of this book: given the widespread perception
of China as an assertive rising power as well as the conventional belief
that economic sanctions are a middle ground between diplomatic and
military/paramilitary action, why were Chinese decision-makers up until
the end of Xi Jinping’s first term as president in March 2018 restrained
and reluctant in their use of sanctions? It provides a brief account of the
main argument—that China’s longstanding sanctions rhetoric has had
a constraining effect on its behaviour—and explains the theoretical and
policy significance of this book. It concludes by providing an overview of
the chapters and research design.
