Summary:This book is about how China tackles the economic, political, and security dimensions of the challenges stemming from its growing dependence on the international petroleum market. This volume addresses the making and implementation of China's international petroleum policy, not only because the country's continued economic growth and the legitimacy of the Communist regime in Beijing hinge upon the country's access to reliable and sufficient foreign oil, but also because how China confronts this complex policy problem reveals a lot about its state capacity in the era of reform and globalization as well as its performance as a global citizen. Given its rapid rise in the international system, China's international petroleum policy not only affects the country's well-being but also carries some profound international implications.
