The New Silk Road Diplomacy makes an impressive contribution to the field of Chinese and Central Asian foreign policy. Karrar's canvassing of the Chinese language sources is impeccable, as is his knowledge of the relevant Western and Russian scholarship. The subject is timely and important; not only is China's relationship with Central Asia crucial to our understanding of Chinese foreign and energy policy, but it also figures in China's strategic posture towards the West and to the United States, in particular.? Jeremy Paltiel, author of The Empire's New Clothes: Cultural Particularism and Universal Value in China's Quest for Global StatusBoth specialists and a general audience will welcome this lucid and readable book. While students and experts in Central Asian affairs and Chinese foreign policy will engage with Karrar's interpretations of events, others interested in contemporary China and Central Asia will appreciate his clear presentation of the international politics in a rather intricate and unfamiliar region.? Xiaoyuan Liu, author of Frontier Passages: Ethnopolitics and the Rise of Chinese Communism, 1921-1945
