This book investigates China's foreign policy concerning the principle of non-intervention in domestic affairs of other states in the post-Cold War period. The principle of non-intervention has traditionally been central to Chinese foreign policy, but as China's economy has boomed, international attention to her foreign policy has been increasingly hostile. Accordingly, an exploration of China's non-intervention policy is worthwhile to understand China's foreign policy and its international behavior. This book will be of interest to China watchers, scholars of geopolitics, and Asian historians.

She gives lectures on Theories of International Relations and Global Governance to undergraduate and masters. She received the PhD in International Relations from Ritsumeikan University of Japan. Her research field is broad, including IR theory, Sino-Japanese relations and global governance.
