Navigating Dialogue and Diplomacy: China's Heritage in Global Perspective brings together contributions from a highly qualified and diverse team of international scholars to examine how cultural heritage operates as a field of global engagement at the intersection of diplomacy, dialogue, and mediated cultural practice. It advances a conceptual shift from heritage as a state instrument of soft power to heritage as a relational and mobile process that travels across borders and is continually reworked through institutions, publics, and platforms. Within this framework, dialogue is approached not as a normative outcome but as a contingent and situationally produced form of engagement shaped by power, mediation, and context. Taking China's evolving heritage practices as a particularly revealing vantage point, the volume explores how heritage is mobilized, interpreted, and contested amid intensifying geopolitical tensions and resurgent cultural nationalism, while illuminating dynamics that extend beyond the Chinese case. The contributors draw on interdisciplinary perspectives spanning heritage studies, international relations, media and communication, architecture, cultural studies, and China studies, drawing on qualitative methods including ethnography, critical discourse analysis, multimodal analysis, and comparative case studies. This methodological breadth enables the volume to move across scales, ranging from international governance and diplomatic initiatives to urban spaces, digital platforms, and everyday intercultural encounters. The volume thus repositions heritage as a dynamic site of negotiation, mediation, and meaning-making, offering critical insights into the role of heritage in shaping global narratives, cultural identities, and the possibilities and limitations of international dialogue in a changing world.

This book examines China’s contemporary global cultural footprints through its recent development of cultural diplomacy.The volume presents an alternative analytical framework to examine China’s cultural diplomacy, which goes beyond the Western-defined concept of ‘soft power’ that prevails in the current literature. This new approach constructs a three-dimensional framework on Orientalism, cultural hegemony and nationalism to decipher the multiple contexts, which China inhabits historically, internationally and domestically. The book presents multiple case studies of the Confucius Institute, and compares the global programme located around the world with its Western counterparts, and also with other Chinese government-sponsored endeavours and non-government-initiated programmes. The author aims to solve the puzzle of why China’s efforts in cultural diplomacy are perceived differently around the world and helps to outline the distinctive features of China’s cultural diplomacy.This book will be of much interest to students of diplomacy, Chinese politics, foreign policy and International Relations in general.

This book develops the concept of feminist technoecologies as a theoretical and methodological tool for examining the co-constitutive relation between technology and ecology, which have typically been considered as distinct objects of studies. In underscoring how their dynamic relationality troubles the location of agency, this book challenges the idea that technology, as the marker of the innovative capacity of the human, either corrupts or saves ecology.The contributions to the volume present feminist approaches that contextualise and historicize such issues as multi-species survival, border control regimes, solar power, bioart, artificial intelligence and air pollution. They insist on the centrality of corporeality, affects, ethics and vulnerability in the materialisation of technoecological relations, and call into question the exceptional status of the figure of (hu)Man. Together they offer critical and creative tools or modes of inquiry for imagining alternative modalities of practicing care and thinking environmental sustainability.As a creative contribution to the growing literature on new configurations of bodies, technologies and environments against the backdrop of ecological degradation, digital technologization, and precarity in late capitalism, Feminist Technoecologies extends the interchanges between feminist materialisms, environmental humanities and feminist technosciences studies, and will be a resource for all those interested in these fields. This book was originally published as a special issue of Australian Feminist Studies.

Computational Trust Models and Machine Learning provides a detailed introduction to the concept of trust and its application in various computer science areas, including multi-agent systems, online social networks, and communication systems. Identifying trust modeling challenges that cannot be addressed by traditional approaches, this book:Explains how reputation-based systems are used to determine trust in diverse online communitiesDescribes how machine learning techniques are employed to build robust reputation systemsExplores two distinctive approaches to determining credibility of resources—one where the human role is implicit, and one that leverages human input explicitlyShows how decision support can be facilitated by computational trust modelsDiscusses collaborative filtering-based trust aware recommendation systemsDefines a framework for translating a trust modeling problem into a learning problemInvestigates the objectivity of human feedback, emphasizing the need to filter out outlying opinionsComputational Trust Models and Machine Learning effectively demonstrates how novel machine learning techniques can improve the accuracy of trust assessment.

Anglo-Chinese Encounters Before the Opium War: A Tale of Two Empires Over Two Centuries studies the fascinating encounters between the two historic empires from Queen Elizabeth I’s first letter to the Ming Emperor Wanli in 1583, to Lord Palmerston’s letter to the Minister of China in 1840.Starting with Queen Elizabeth I’s letter to the Chinese Emperor and ending with the letter from Lord Palmerston to the Minister of China just before the Opium War, this book explores the long journey in between from cultural diplomacy to gunboat diplomacy. It interweaves the most known diplomatic efforts at the official level with the much unknown intellectual interactions at the people-to-people level, from missionaries to scholars, from merchants to travelers and from artists to scientists. This book adopts a novel "mirror" approach by pairing and comparing people, texts, commodities, artworks, architecture, ideologies, operating systems and world views of the two empires. Using letters, gifts and traded goods as fulcrums, and by adopting these unique lenses, it puts China into the world history narratives to contextualise Anglo-Chinese relations, thus providing a fresh analysis of the surviving evidence. Xin Liu casts a new light on understanding the Sino-centric and Anglo-centric world views in driving the complex relations between the two empires, and the reversals of power shifts that are still unfolding today.The book is not intended for specialists in history, but a general audience wishing to learn more about China’s historical engagement with the world.

Today’s world is one marked by the signs of digital capitalism and global capitalist expansion, and China is increasingly being integrated into this global system of production and consumption. As a result, China’s immediate material impact is now felt almost everywhere in the world; however, the significance and process of this integration is far from understood. This study shows how the a priori categories of statistical reasoning came to be re-born and re-lived in the People’s Republic - as essential conditions for the possibility of a new mode of knowledge and governance. From the ruins of the Maoist revolution China has risen through a mode of quantitative self-objectification.As the author argues, an epistemological rift has separated the Maoist years from the present age of the People’s Republic, which appears on the global stage as a mirage. This study is an ethnographic investigation of concepts - of the conceptual forces that have produced and been produced by - two forms of knowledge, life, and governance. As the author shows, the world of China, contrary to the common view, is not the Chinese world; it is a symptomatic moment of our world at the present time.
