Rezensionen

"Wang's writing style is analytically clear and engaging, and raises a certain curiosity in the subject itself. The book combines three issues that are of great interest: China's rise and role in international politics; our perceptions of China; and the role of nation branding (in this book through the prism of the Shanghai Expo). The advantage of a book like this is that it will not just be relevant for China specialists, but also for IR and communication scholars. The clarity of writing makes it accessible and of use in advanced undergraduate courses. I see no real competition for Shaping China's Global Imagination."' - Peter Van Ham, Netherlands Institute of International Relations
