China and the Third World: Champion or Challenger?

by Lillian Craig Harris, Robert L. Worden

In this original study by outstanding Asian scholars, China's Third World identification is explored in relations to its domestic policies, ideology, strategic and economic imperatives, and positioning in world affairs.
