Threat of Force and Foreign Policy: A Series of Strategic and International Relations Studies

This book is based on my doctoral thesis completed at Nanjing University, which was later supplemented and improved as a sub project of the major research project "Research on Contemporary Diplomacy Types" at Shanghai Foreign Studies University. After several revisions, it was finally finalized.
Compulsory diplomacy mainly achieves a country's foreign policy goals through the threat of force rather than the actual use of force. Due to its potential to achieve goals at a low cost, it is highly attractive to many politicians and strategists. In fact, the practice and ideology of coercive diplomacy have a long history, especially since the end of the Cold War, it has been frequently used by Western powers and has become a very prominent international political phenomenon in contemporary times. However, it was not until the 1960s and 1970s that the Western theoretical community clearly distinguished between the concepts of coercive diplomacy and deterrence and began to conduct specialized research. In China, coercive diplomacy is a brand new term, and its theoretical research is still in its infancy. After stepping back into the campus of Nanjing University in the autumn of 2001, as a doctoral student from the military, I quickly developed a strong interest in the theory of coercive diplomacy, which lies at the intersection of international political science and strategic science. I decided to choose it as my thesis topic and immediately received the approval and support of my supervisor. So, a difficult yet enjoyable writing journey began.
The writing and publication of this book have received support and assistance from numerous teachers, classmates, colleagues, and relevant institutions. Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to them. Of course, any defects and errors that may exist in the book are my personal responsibility.
Nanjing University is a century old prestigious university with a gathering of talented individuals and a strong academic atmosphere. I am very proud to be able to pursue a master's and doctoral degree here. After studying at Nanjing University for six years, many teachers and classmates have shown me selfless care and help, which has enabled me to successfully complete my studies. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Zhu Yingquan, my doctoral supervisor and Dean of the Institute of International Relations at Nanjing University. From the determination of the thesis topic, to the design of the framework, to the grasp of viewpoints, and the refinement of language, many aspects have been the result of the mentor's great efforts. If this book can achieve some success in certain areas, it is undoubtedly due to his careful guidance. Teacher Zhu is rigorous in his academic studies and has a broad mind, setting an example for lifelong learning for me.

Qian Chuntai, born in 1966 in Gaoyou, Jiangsu, graduated from the Institute of International Relations at Nanjing University with a doctoral degree in 2004. During this period, he visited the American Studies Center at the University of Hong Kong and is currently an associate professor in the Strategic Teaching and Research Office of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Command College. In March 2007, as a member of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense delegation and a naval academy expert, I went to Helsinki, Finland to participate in the ASEAN Regional Forum Defense Officials' Security Dialogue and Confidence Building Measures Meeting. My main research areas are diplomatic theory, maritime security strategy, and naval strategy. Co authored books such as "British Culture and Diplomacy", "Eleven Americans and Modern China", "Contemporary International Relations", "Naval Diplomacy", "National Maritime Security", etc., served as the editor in chief of the "Chinese Navy Encyclopedia" (2nd edition) and "Navy Dictionary" (2nd edition) Maritime Security Strategy and Policy discipline, and has published nearly 40 academic papers in journals such as "American Studies", "European Studies", and "Naval Academic Research".
