Professor Robert Patman has recently had another book published. He co-edited it with Professor Xiaoming Huang. This book considers the evolving relationship between China and the international system, and the interaction between a China of profound change in its identity, capability, and influence, and an international system that is itself experiencing a process of far-reaching trnasformation. It develops an analytical framework taht allows us to capture, understand, and explain a more dynamic pattern of agent-structure interaction in China's relationship with the international system.
