Mexico-China Relations

This book demonstrates how Mexico-China relations embodied a complex process of knowledge formation, confronting their socially constructed conceptions of time, space and otherness. Cultural Encounters in a Global Age will appeal to scholars of IR theory, political theory, cultural studies, and cultural influences on foreign policy.
