"In the next decade China's actions on the world stage will affect us all. A new superpower, with the largest population and GDP on the globe, there are now fears that China is becoming more assertive. Here, award-winning China expert Kerry Brown guides us through China's foreign policy, from its skirmishes with US Navy destroyers in the South China Sea to its arguments with Japan over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands and its increased displays of military prowess - including huge investments in cyber warfare. Brown also assesses China's extraordinary plan to create a `New Silk Road' across Central Asia - one of the biggest infrastructure project in modern history. In doing so he seeks to answer a simple question: what does China want? The answer lies in the unique way China thinks about the world. A comprehensive analysis by one of the world's most recognised and respected authorities, and based upon unparalleled research into Chinese leaders, their beliefs and their instincts, China's World is an essential read for the Western world."

"This Whitehall Paper is an examination of China's relations over its western borders, looking at the interplay between China's relations with South and Central Asia, and its relations with other great adjacent powers. Based on a two-year research project that included travel and workshops in South and Central Asia, this Paper examines Beijing's changing impact and relationship with its near neighbourhood. Conceived prior to the announcement of Xi Jinping's 'Belt and Road Initiative' research for this report was undertaken in the shadow of the September 2013 announcement and the 'Belt and Road' ultimately proved to be the driving framework under which this report was drafted. The report sketches out the roots of the initiative, and how it is being felt on the ground, exploring in detail how it is being received in China's immediate neighbourhood where its impact is most significant for China."

"Tulisan ini menganalisis mengapa suatu negara mengubah pendekatan kebijakan luar negerinya meskipun sudah menjalin hubungan diplomatik sejak lama. Sejak tahun 1983 Kepulauan Solomon telah menjalin hubungan diplomatik dengan Taiwan, namun pada tahun 2019 Kepulauan Solomon memutuskan hubungan diplomatiknya dengan Taiwan dan beralih ke Tiongkok meskipun telah menjalin hubungan diplomatik selama 36 tahun. Tesis ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deduktif. Analisis dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teori perubahan kebijakan luar negeri (foreign policy change) untuk menjelaskan perubahan kebijakan diplomatik Kepulauan Solomon dari Taiwan ke Tiongkok pada tahun 2019. Sumber-sumber perubahan yang dimaksud dalam teori ini adalah dorongan pemimpin, advokasi birokrasi, restrukturisasi demokrasi, dan guncangan eksternal. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Kepulauan Solomon memutuskan mengalihkan hubungan diplomatiknya dari Taiwan ke Tiongkok pada tahun 2019 didominasi oleh pengaruh dari sumber dorongan pemimpin, yang dalam hal ini adalah Perdana Menteri Kepulauan Solomon kala itu, yakni Manasseh Sogavare. Meskipun terdapat kritikan dari sumber-sumber perubahan lain, pengalihan hubungan diplomatik tersebut pada akhirnya tetap terlaksana pada masa pemerintahan Sogavare.

This paper aims to analyse why a country changes its foreign policy approach despite having established diplomatic relations for a long time. Since 1983, the Solomon Islands had maintained diplomatic relations with Taiwan. However in 2019, the Solomon Islands decided to sever its diplomatic ties with Taiwan and shift to China, even after 36 years of diplomatic relations. This research uses qualitative methodology with deductive approach. The analysis in this study employs the theory of foreign policy change to explain the diplomatic shift of the Solomon Islands from Taiwan to China in 2019. The sources of change identified in this theory are leader-driven, bureaucratic advocacy, democratic restructuring, and external shocks. The results of this study show that the Solomon Islands' decision to switch its diplomatic relations from Taiwan to China in 2019 was predominantly influenced by the leader-driven factor, specifically by the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands, Manasseh Sogavare. Despite criticisms from other sources of change, the diplomatic shift was successfully implemented during Sogavare's administration."
