520 |a This is a global history of the Monroe Doctrine through a Chinese lens. Delving deep into the evolution of the Monroe Doctrine's discourse and the spatial politics underpinning it, the book meticulously chronicles and dissects how the doctrine has been interpreted over time within the United States, and explores the diverse ways historical actors in Germany, Japan, and China adapted the Monroe Doctrine's discourse to suit their respective local spatial-political imperatives. In an era marked by the rise of multi-polarization, this work offers invaluable historical insights, enabling readers to better understand the complex dynamics between hegemony and autonomy.
