The editors' well-written introduction and the subsequent five chapters by Jianwei Wang, Zhongqi Pan, Kai He, Jing Men, and Sheng Ding respectively, take stock of the deeper cultural and philosophical roots while discussing examples of contemporary foreign policy concerns, and therefore exude a more timeless quality, the sort that will prove valuable for other's seeking a good citation or two for their own works.
