Summary:

The Empire's New Clothes is an exploration of the ways in which
China's entry into international society has reshaped its identity.
The book looks at how coercive enrolment into the world of sovereign
states shapes China's attitudes towards sovereignty and human rights,
and the difficult manner through which China has adapted itself to
the rule of law. This process continues to affect the ways in which
China approaches globalization. The book ends with a discussion about
how China will manage its rise with special relevance to
Sino-American relations.
