Abstract "This edited volume contributes to debates about China's influence, and explores three specific themes in the context of global China: the effects of (un)intentional influence and influence externalities; the role of intermediaries, the sub-state and non-state actors that are conduits for influence; and the conditioning effects of host country institutions. The work advances conversation of public and academic interest by problematizing existing conceptualizations of China's influence and offering a fresh approach. Existing research has paid surprisingly little systematic attention to how local, national, and global factors outside of China-and beyond its control-condition whether and how China's investments in global influence bear fruit. A central claim of the book is that scholars need to pay more careful attention to how these external factors create unexpected consequences for influence-seeking states. This book explores three specific themes in the context of global China: the effects of (un)intentional influence and influence externalities; the role of intermediaries, the sub-state and non-state actors that are conduits for influence; and the conditioning effects of host country institutions. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian Studies, Politics, Regional Studies, and International Relations"-- Provided by publisher.
