<br/><br/> Deals with the questions: "to what extent is there a substantively consistent and temporally persistent Chinese strategic culture, and to what extent has this strategic culture influenced China's use of military force against 'threats' historically?" (from author's preface) Focuses on the Ming dynasty as a basis to explore the relationship between ideas and behaviour.
