| Title | For the People or by the People? The Implications of Nationalistic Sentiment on Chinese Foreign Policy |
| Summary | Whether Chinese foreign policy outcomes are being influenced and determined by the reemerging nationalist attitudes in China, has been debated by scholars and policymakers alike. This thesis examines the impact of emergent nationalistic sentiment on Chinese foreign policy in the context of China’s military expansion and buildup. It does so by critically analysing the current assertiveness discourse on the motivations for China’s military rise through realist and constructivist lenses. To build this framework it is important to investigate how and why China is pursuing world power status in military terms prior to examining Chinese nationalism and national identity and assess whether they can motivate foreign policy objectives and outcomes in China. This is examined in the framework of growing nationalistic sentiment. |
