Soft Power With Chinese Characteristics is the latest and the most comprehensive edited volume assessing China's state-led campaign to yield attraction in the international arena. The volume brings together experts across disciplines and geographies to tackle the complex and rapid evolution of China's soft power approach under Xi Jinping. The volume starts out with discursive dimensions of soft power, or the relationship between soft power and China's perception of international order (Chapter 1), the articulation of soft power by China's academic community (Chapter 2), and the comparative projection of soft power by China and the United States (Chapter 3). This part is especially helpful in situating the analysis of Chinese soft power, as it channels the voices from China often overlooked in other academic works on the subject.
