| Title | The Rise of China's Soft Power: the Efficiency of China's Involvement in the Developing World |
| Summary | My research deals with the increasing role of Chinese soft power around the world. It observes the characteristics of China’s foreign policy and examines soft power tools China uses to pursue its interests. The thesis will present how China’s soft power works in the developing states. Furthermore, research will develop arguments why China chooses developing countries for exerting its influence. It will show how China’s influence in developing states effect government leadership and elites, which are attracted by China, due to its disinterest in the countries’ internal affairs and reforms. My research will illustrate the consequences of Chinese involvement and examine the durability of Chinese soft power. The case studies of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Myanmar will show the efficiency of Chinese soft power policy and will illustrate the results of China’s engagement on societal level. Moreover, it will show why China’s involvement is not always welcome in the developing world. Subsequently conclusion will be drawn what China has to improve in order to endure its development, be welcome in the developing world, and be respected on domestic and international level. |
